Virus warning
There’s a new e-mail virus going around that is fairly recent. It started back in February this year. The e-mail looks like this:
Subject: You visit illegal websites
Dear Sir/Madam,
Content-Type:
we have logged your IP-address on more than 40 illegal Websites.
Important: Please answer our questions!
The list of questions are attached.
Yours faithfully,
M. John Stellford

The attachment does not contain questions that you must answer. It contains the Sober K virus. The Sober K virus is a mass-mailing worm that will send itself to e-mail addresses gathered from compromised computers. On February 22, 2005, the FBI issued a press release warning about this scam.
