Dumaru worm twists again
The Dumaru worm is continuing to evolve. First appearing only in mid-August, it has now reached its fifth generation in the wild with the Dumaru-E variant.
Purporting to come from 'security@microsoft.com', the virus email will have a subject line of 'Use this patch immediately !' and a patch.exe attachment.
As we always repeat, Microsoft does not send security updates by email so this message should be easily identifiable as a rogue mailing. Do not execute the patch attachment!
As well as carrying its own SMTP engine (to spread itself further by email) and attempting to infect all executables with copies of itself, the worm will monitor your computer activities.
