A new worm, WORM_PALYH.A (also known as W32.HLLW.Mankx), appeared Sunday evening, May 18. It is supposedly from support@microsoft.com. This worm, which apparently infects only Windows (not Macintosh) systems, started hitting hard about 6 to 7 p.m. UCLink users received over 50,000 copies. We are now blocking it from UCLink and Socrates. Further, we are extracting it from UCLink users' inboxes. However, we are sure many copies were downloaded by users whose PC's check for mail automatically every few minutes.
Information about this worm is available on Symantec's Security response W32.Sobig.B@mm page (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven....mankx@mm.html) where a tool for removing the worm from your system is also available for download.
We are advising people not to open mail from support@microsoft.com.
As a general reminder, never open an attachment unless you expect it!
