I've found this article and think is really important:

MessageLabs, a leading provider of integrated messaging and web security services to businesses worldwide, today announced the findings of its MessageLabs Intelligence Report for April 2007. In this report, MessageLabs exposes a new level in the convergence between spam and viruses through intercepted cyber-criminal activity, whilst highlighting the increase in spam levels and the emergence of new techniques which have led to decreased rates in traditional virus and phishing threats.

In what could be one of the most defining moments within the threat landscape, MessageLabs has intercepted emails that are both spam and contain a virus. While the cyber-criminals have long used email viruses to create botnets to send spam, this is the first time MessageLabs has seen viruses hidden within stock scam spam. Since April 14, MessageLabs has stopped thousands of these emails as part the latest phase in Storm Worm activity.

Late this month, the latest strains of Zhelatin, also known as Storm Worm, were being spammed out in stock pump-and-dump emails which also contained links to new malware being hosted on websites under the control of the attackers. Purporting to be a screensaver, the malware then drops the Zhelatin MeSpam engine onto the compromised computer. Until now, new versions of Zhelatin have been distributed via botnets to create larger botnets for the purposes of spamming.

If you thing your computer is under attack or in risk, you can use antivirus softwares like Norton, Panda, Avast, etc. or you can run a free online scanning from sites like infectedornot.com, bitdefender, etc.

Good luck and be careful!!

Pam

I guess, this thing is gonna happen soon to all world wide user facing this kinda worm blast to their in front of the PC??

Such an Attack has been expected somehow, people just haven't gotten around to doing it until recently.

SO, With this new technique coming up, the simple method to AVOID trouble: Don't READ SPAM, Just DELETE THEM. DON'T Simply Click on things you DON'T KNOW.

Simple. Safe.

Cheers!
