Virus Alerts and Information W32.Mypics. Worm ICSA urges users to watch out for unsolicited email attachments. In the past we have told users not to open attachments from users they do not know. Now a user must use caution with any email attachments.
Worm is similar to other worms but has a dangerous payload.
A user receives a message with the following. The attachment to the file is pics4you.exe and once a user executes the file an email message will be sent out to the first 50 users in their Outlook address book. That message will have the same infected attachment. The worm also changes the users Start Page so that a Geocities page is loaded each time a user opens their web browser. ICSA recommends that users update Anti-Virus products immediately to protect themselves from this new threat.
