If anyone gets an e-mail from Raven from his hotmail account that is 318k in size, it contains a KakWorm.



He didn't send it, it actually came from another person that has Raven in his address book and forges Raven's address to it (its how that worm works).



If you did get it and already opened and downloaded it I'll be posting a link to remove it.

The new worms all seem to play around with email forgery. Luckily I started using a real-time email scanner after getting infected by a virus for the first and only time. The sender looked like someone I vaguely remembered from a newsgroup or such, so I stupidly checked it out. Never again.

I always delete emails, especially in my personal email account, that are greater than say 25 or 50K, and especially if they have attachments, if they are not from someone I know well...or at least recognize...

It selects an account name from the email address list of the email program on the infected computer. At random, I assume.

It probably assumed with faulty logic that since you are the "High Profit" that we would all read each and every email in full down to the last period and comma from you.
