Watch out for this one

It looks like the latest variant of Sober is spreading rapidly. I'm sure nobody here ever opens attachments from unsolicited emails, but you might want to warn family and friends:

DEFINITELY want to warn family and friends. Although my friends help support my gaming addiction by paying me to fix their virus infected computers, it gets old hearing the familiar "I know I am not supposed to open attachments, but..."

People at work are also horrible about this. We receive reminders at least once a month regarding procedures for attachments from unknown or unrecognized people. And yet, we still have a staggering amount of employees who just open every emial and attachment as if they sent it themselves!

I guess I can simply say one thing: "Job Security!"

W32.Sober.l Worm is an email worm that comes with an attachment, which will be a .bat, .com, .pif, .scr or .zip file. Symantec has a removal tool for it here:
