Here You Have/Just For You Email Worm

PC Virus Doctors' Dallas PC Support are not surprised by a large number of emails pushed to organizations in order to install an email worm that immediately started sending emails in large fast numbers. The email worm also attempted to disable any security software allowing it to start an email server on its own from user's computers.

The subject line of the email read either "Here You Have" or "Just For You". This is a classic email worm attack. Security software such as anti-virus and anti-spyware programs have found the identification and worm removal method for this particular worm. Users should update all security software and do a check just to make sure their PC machines are not infected.

One Main Rule for Emails:
  1. Never open emails that you do not know who personally sent them.
Rule Two for Emails:
  1. Make sure your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs are updated with the latest signatures.
