 |  |  | | Release Date: 1/9/2003 | Announcements | | Exercise care when opening attachments! |  | According to McAfee Security (i.e. www.mcafee.com), the "Sobig.f" virus is a HIGH-RISK mass-mailing worm. It arrives as an email attachment with a .pif or .scr extension. When run, it infects the host computer, then emails itself to harvested email addresses.
In addition, when it propagates, the worm "spoofs" the "from: field", using one of the harvested email addresses. So, exercise care when opening attachments.
