text: spam new graphic site how does it effect me once opened? is this a virus? a worm? once i open the email and it copied my email address book, what else does it do? it only affect yahoo mail users.  delete it without trying to open it.  just opening it will get you infected.  it is a spammer virus designed to harvest email addresses.  the email has the following attributes:  from: {last victim} subject: new graphic site message body: note: forwarded message attached.  to clean your system, shut down your browser.  then restart and erase all your cached files. in ie, go to tools->internet options then click delete files under the temporary internet files section.  restart the browser again.  the virus is a javascript based virus so it will affect all computers including macs and linux boxes.  it is a worm that goes by the names js/yamanner@mm [mcafee], js_yamaner.a [trend micro], and js.yamanner@m[symantec].  once it runs, the virus scans all your yahoo mail folders for email addresses.  it sends all email addresses it finds to the spammer at the following web site "www.av3.net/index.htm" (don't go there or you'll be infected).  then it resends itself to all yahoo.com and yahoogroups.com email addresses that it found.  again, if you see a message with the subject "new graphic site" in your email, don't try to read it or else you will be infected.
