Oh for fuck's sake... that's 9 unsolicited, unwanted fucking attatchmented e-mails in my inbox not my spam folder in the last hour alone...

Paranoia would like to know exactly why they're picking on ME.

Are the emails titles any of the following:

Re: Details
Re: Approved
Re: Re: My details
Re: Thank you!
Re: That movie
Re: Wicked screensaver
Re: Your application
Thank you!
Your details

or the attachments titled:

your_document.pif
document_all.pif
thank_you.pif
your_details.pif
details.pif
document_9446.pif
application.pif
wicked_scr.scr
movie0045.pif


If so it's another bloody worm! It's called W32.Sobig.F@mm

and the attachemts carry a virus that can download arbitrary files to an infected computer and execute them. The author of the worm has used this functionality to steal confidential system information and to set up spam relay servers on infected computers.

This functionality may also be used as a worm self-update feature. Under the correct conditions, Sobig.F attempts to contact one of the list of master servers, which the author of the worm controls. Then, the worm retrieves a URL that it uses to determine where to get the Trojan file, downloads the Trojan file to the local computer, and then executes it.
