Da ich nicht alle meine Bekannten (welche fast ausschließlich aus dem Forum sind) mit Mails eindecken will, veröffentliche ich hier eine Viruswarnung, die mich gestern erreicht hat.

Virus Name: W32/ProLin@MM
Virus Characteristics:
Update December 1, 2000:AVERT raised the risk assessment from Medium to High this afternoon for this Internet worm based on samples received. This Internet worm is detected by current DAT and ENGINE as "New BackDoor" when using heuristic scanning methods.
this Internet worm may be received via email in this form:
subject = A great Shockwave flash movie
Body = Check out this new flash movie that I downloaded just now ...
It's Great
Bye
Attachment = creative.exe
When run, this Internet worm will write a copy of itself to the local system
in these folders:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\creative.exe
C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\creative.exe
It then will send a copy of itself via email to all users in the address book.
As a final note, it sends a note to presumably the author:
author = [E-Mail-Adresse entfernt]
Subject = Job complete
Body = Got yet another idiot
