    Does anyone have any information about this. Since the next version of
    Exchange is 1 - 2 years out could this not become a problem? I checked
    the Exploitlabs (www.exploitlabs.com) WEB site and could not find the
    advisory. The text below came from The SANS Internet Storm Centre.

    One of my Local Mentor students, pointed out there was a bulletin about
    an exploit for Outlook Web Access (OWA) published on 25 Jan by
    exploitlabs, that I don't think we covered here. Many companies have OWA
    set up for their employees as a convenience. This exploit allows
    attackers to redirect login to any URL they desire and could be used to
    gather usernames and passwords. No patch has yet been released, but
    Microsoft says it will be fixed in the next major release of Exchange.

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
