Here's the message I got about it, although I haven't received one of these
messages yet.
A new Visual Basic Script (VBS) virus named Mawanella is in the wild
on the internet. This virus is propagated through email including
Microsoft Outlook. A sample of the email the worm sends out is as
follows:
Subject: Mawanella
Message Body: Mawanella is one of the Sri Lanka's Muslim Village
Attachment: Mawanella.vbs
After the worm sends out the email or if the infected system does
not have Microsoft Outlook installed in it, the following message boxes
are displayed:
Please forward this to everyone
Mawanella is one of the Sri Lanka's Muslim Village. This brutal
incident happened here 2 Muslim Mosques & 100 Shops are burnt. I hat this
incident, What about you? I can destroy your computer I didn't do
