I've gotten two (blocked) viruses this morning already:

One from Singapore: type "application/x-msdownload", filename "89012 Amex CQ
DL360 117934-N 310702.xls.pif")

One from New Zealand: type "audio/x-midi", filename "index.html.exe"

Also, another weird spam email with some javascript(?) in it that causes an
IE error with a bad URL:
outbind://12-00000000B959047BABB5754090C38CBFA8B278BE44073200

Never seen anything like that before today...

Subject: Email harvesters increase virus spread?

Has anyone else noticed a dramtic increase in klez and yaha targeting email
addresses found on web pages? It seems some of the major email harvesters
have been infected perhaps.
