> A new virus is in the wild. The name of the virus is "W32/minda". It
> arrives in many ways and one of those ways is as an email attachment.
> When it arrives in an email, the email will contain an attachment called
> "Readme.exe" or "Readme.eml". The Readme.exe is a program and can be
> executed just from the preview panel when viewing it without it being
> opened.
>
> DO NOT execute any attachment(s) of emails arriving with the words
> "W/32minda". As always, if you are NOT expecting an email attachment,
> view it suspiciously. You may send the email first to the ORS IT Support
> Center (orsitsupport@mail.nih.gov) to open or to ifedif@mail.nih.gov to be
> scanned.
>
> This worm is aggressive and spreading fast. When it infects a system it
> scans other machines looking for vulnerable systems and may also adversely
> impact the performance of the Internet.
>
> System Administrators should ensure that the latest security patches have
> been applied to all IIS machines that you manage.
