You got a virus my sweet...Ive had loads of emails from you infected with
W32.Yaha.K@mm virus
W32/Yaha.k is rated as MEDIUM RISK FOR HOME AND CORPORATE USERS. This mass-mailing worm attempts to send itself to email addresses found on an infected system. It will try to disable anti-virus and security software and contains code to deliver a denial of service attack on a specific remote system.
This virus may spread via a variety of different emails, including versions that appear to come from a known security software vendor, such as McAfee.com, Norton or Trend Micro. This email variation masquerades as a virus warning and asks the user to download a protection tool, which is, in fact, the virus itself.
This worm propagates via email using its own built-in SMTP engine.
This virus can "spoof" the "from" field, so that the apparent sender is not the actual sender of the message.
The email can contain a wide variety of content and attachments.
SAMPLE MESSAGE:
