It’s time once again to be afraid to visit your email inbox, with a new virus named ‘Here You Have’ spreading like wildfire across the Internet.
The ‘Here You Have’ virus looks like an email from a friend. The giveaway is the subject line and the vague wording in the body of the email.
It contains a link to what is listed as a PDF file but is in fact an executable .scr. Once clicked, the virus will send itself out to all your contacts and try to disable any security software you have installed.
Email worms have somewhat fallen out of fashion in recent years, mainly because most people are too Web-savvy to fall for them. Or at least we thought so.
It appears that enough people aren’t to mean the occasional one can still slip through the net. Literally.
