THIS JUST CAME IN MY E-MAIL!!!!!


I am starting to see this on my servers around the state...the
subject line I have seen so far is RE: Movie If you get this
email from support @ microsoft.com...DO NOT OPEN IT Delet it at once.

A warning from your friendly webmaster..

The current worm of the week, Palyh, continued to spread rapidly
Monday afternoon, with some users seeing as many as a dozen copies
an hour. The worm first appeared over the weekend in Asia and Europe
and began spreading in earnest here Monday.
Palyh's behavior and appearance should hold no surprises for veteran
computer users, experts said.

"Any e-mail arriving from an address like 'support@microsoft.com'
containing an attachment should look like a huge billboard
reading 'I am a virus' to every computer user," said Ian Hameroff,
security strategist at Computer Associates International Inc., in
Islandia, N.Y. "We all need to be wary of anything that arrives
unexpectingly and includes executable attachments because virus
creators will continue to use social engineering tactics for as long
as they work. This worm will have its greatest impact in the home
computer space since most, if not all, enterprises employ a policy
of blocking attachments types like .PIF."
