Subject: Jackson virus and spam spreads on Internet
 
San Francisco, July 3 (DPA) Security researchers warned Thursday of the
increasing levels of viruses and spam using Jackson's name to snare
unsuspecting users.
One e-mail carries the subject line 'Remembering Michael Jackson' was
circulating with a worm in tow. The e-mail has a zip file attached that
infects victims if downloaded.
'The e-mail, which claims to come from [email protected], says that
the attached ZIP file contains secret songs and photos of Michael Jackson,'
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, wrote on a blog. 
However, the reality is that opening the attachment exposes you to infection
- and if your computer is hit you
will be spreading the worm onto other Internet users.'
Cluley said that the malware also spreads via USB memory sticks. Another
e-mail promises an exclusive look at a YouTube video of the 'last work of
Michael Jackson,' but instead installs a malicious program that steals
passwords.
