Dear Bhagavathas

Please read the message below, I received from
Mcafee.com, regarding a new virus on the Internet.
This is a very dangerous virus and so protect your
system from it.

----------------------------------------------------
McAfee.com has seen a large and growing number of
systems infected with the W32/Nimda@MM. This is a HIGH
RISK virus that is spread via email. W32/Nimda@MM also
spreads via open shares, the Microsoft Web Folder
Transversal vulnerability (also used by W32/CodeBlue),
and a Microsoft content-type spoofing vulnerability. 

The email attachment name VARIES and may use the icon
for an Internet Explorer HTML document. 

It will also attempt to spread itself as follows: 


The email messages created by the worm include content
that allows the worm to execute the attachment even if
the user does not open it. 
It modifies HTML documents, so that when this infected
window is accessed (locally or remotely), the machine
viewing the page is then infected. 
Once infected, your system is used to seek out others
to infect over the Web. 

AVERT is currently analyzing this threat and will post
more details online shortly.
