On its blog, McAfee said that because multiple variants of the worm are spreading, it "may take some time to work through them all to paint a clearer picture." It's thus named because it arrives in an e-mail with "here you have" in the subject. DO NOT even click links in e-mail messages from your friend, since the real source of the message might be a virus. "Once the threat copies itself to another machine, if a user even opens the folder that contains the threat on this new machine, this will launch the threat and cause it to spread further through both email and over shared drives," the company wrote in a bulletin. ABC News' Jason Ryan, Marisa Bramwell, Lee Ferran and Sidney Wright contributed to this report.
– An email spam virus swept through corporate America's inboxes yesterday, causing servers to be shut down at major operations including Comcast, AIG, Disney, and NASA. The virus spread through emails with the subject line "Here you have," which contained a link that downloads a virus that sends the same email to everybody in a user's address book. The Department of Homeland Security is investigating, reports ABC News. Security experts say anybody receiving the "here you have" email should delete it and contact their IT departments. They stress that people should never click links in emails from unknown people, or even in suspect emails from people they know. "The fact that it managed to spread widely through various multinational businesses doesn't say a lot for the security savvy of the workers," notes Neil Rubenking at PC World.
