AS provided by the techies at my work: Subject: Fake Microsoft Email Circulating the net. - There are reports about an email circulating that claims to be from Microsoft with a "From" and "Subject" line as follows: - From: update@microsoft.com - Subject: What You Need to Know About the Zotob.A Worm - It is a fake email attempts to get users to run the MS05-039.exe attached executable to launch a Trojan virus named "Viran.C". - This trojan Viran.c uses PnP vulnerability and disguises itself as a removal tool for Zotob and other bots. The spammed email contains the trojan as MS05-039.exe attachment and the email subject is "What You Need to Know About the Zotob.A Worm". If you decide to search the web for more information on this text, the first hit is Microsoft's page about the Zotob incident last week. - Microsoft reiterated that "For future reference, Microsoft will never send out e-mail alerts that contain executable attachments. All fixes and detection tools will be provided as links to download them off our website." Thank you.
