Happy Valentine’s Day, You have a Virus
February 15th, 2008 by JeffThe well-known and much documented Storm botnet is at it again. This time, just over a year after its first round of SPAM, the Storm botnet is once again sending out mass amounts of email to unsuspecting recipients. These emails have subject lines similar to “You’re the One” and “Falling in Love with You” and have very little text in the body of the message except for a link to a website that is controlled by the Storm botnet. If you run the executable named “valentine.exe” that is on the destination website, your computer will become infected and become part of the Storm Botnet. You can read more about this latest outbreak at ComputerWorld.
If your computer has become infected and need help cleaning it up, please contact Austin Lane Technologies, Inc.
