OT - New Linux virus

Just came in the mail ...

[ RAV AntiVirus for Linux i686 version: 8.3.2 (snapshot-20020108)

----------------------- HOL Antivirus results

-----------------------

The file (part0000:)->(IFRAME0000) attached to mail (with subject:mail user unknown)

is infected with virus: HTML/IFrame_Exploit*. Cannot clean this file. The file was successfully deleted by HOL AntiVirus. The file (part0001:akqigotg.exe) attached to mail (with subject:mail user unknown) sent by snipped-for-privacy@memibeachcamping.gr to snipped-for-privacy@connect.to,

]

I note many addresses from AMC & comp.cad.solidworks on the TO list .... and a lot I don't know.

Looks like everyone the virus tried to send to may have gotten a warning Emailed to them .... this time from this ISP. Not a thing to count on in the future from other ISPs.

As far I can see from your post this is not a Linux virus but Rav anitvirus in running on linux (i686) Probably on a P4 system or Athlon.

Sorry, tired at the time ... Probably an MS targeted virus dettcted by the software on the Linux mailserver. It sent the warning only; never saw the virus. Looked like a new one to me though and it was sent (or tried to) to folks in newsgroups. Other ISPs may not be running the anti-virus on their mail servers for outging mail .... so perhaps we can expect live ones.

I did a little STI* on this virus:

If it is a Linux virus it is good not know that MicroSoft is issuing a security patch for it. :)
