Originally posted on October 4th, 2003 Look Out for this Sucker! I have been getting reports of a email that's been circulating around the net that look like a authentic Microsoft Updates. The email(s) even looks like it came from MS at first glance... and if you look carefully, it's got an attachment with a .EXE extension (this is the real giveaway). The attachment in the email contains (most of the time) the W32.Swen.A@mm virus. If you receive this in your inbox delete it! What can you do about it? Keep your virus software up to date or get a email scanning service like SpamArrest or Matador. If you downloaded the attachment
and ran it, here's a link to Symantec's website that gives details
about the virus and how to clean it. Here's an example header for you techies out there...
and here's a pic of the actual email
