My wife was sent the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs virus today. The virus attachment is: midgets.scr


InnoculateIT caught it immediately when it began to d/l the attachement.

How old or new is this virus? Anyone know? It seems like I've heard of it before.

The snow white virus etc. are part of probably the nastiest virus because it is so damn smart. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2654480,00.html

While it may not be as destructive as most others, it is going to make all the antivirus patterns larger than they need be...

Living in fear is the norm now.
