I have recieved a number of similar mails. As far as i know its the "new" MS-virus Mydoom or whateter the name was.. Its a neat way to get ppl to open the attachment. It spreads the usual way; via MS and the neat litte inbuilt feature "virus relay system" (aka. Outlook/Outlook express adressbook) It apparently opens a backdoor on the box, and is supposed to, at a certain date pingflood SCO's webservers. But then again i could be wrong :) -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 (0)735 05 51 01 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
