Subject: Fwd: Internet Security Update
> Folks,
>
> I don't think this is a real Microsoft security announcement
> (they wouldn't be likely to be sent via an unknown IP address over in
> the space owned by hiwaay.net), but it does appear to be the result
> of a hoax, a virus, or a Trojan Horse that I have not yet heard of.
>
> I've done various searches via Google and on the web sites of the
> anti-virus vendors, and haven't turned up anything on this issue.
> Have I missed something?
I also received an e-mail of the same type some days ago...
The attached file was named : update8.exe (155 468 bytes)
We can see in this file and in your file the following message : "Coded
...by Begbie, Slovakia"
I've also done various searches via Google and Symantec.com, and haven't
found anything....This is a new trojan, virus or other ?
I'll try to analyse the attached file.
Here the e-mail :
