Yaha worm

[HAL9000]

Tis one of the latest, similar actions to Sircam. This one will disable your antivirus program as part of it's destruction. Needless to say, becareful about attachments. Virus defs using Norton Live Update WILL NOT catch it until the release on the 31st. Virus Defs using the intelligent updater will catch it. http://housecall.antivirus.com catches it too. Either way, there are a couple registry entries to edit to get the system back to normal.

Thanks for the alert Hal, it's good to be kept up to date with the little nasties.

FYI, Shaw here in Canada has major trouble with it. Seems nobody runs an AV, and their tech support lines are flooded with people calling, all with the Yaha virus. I can forsee this being a good couple of weeks for me :D
