Another virus is spreading quickly. Known as Sven, W32/Swen.A@mm, and Gibe. This one is a bit more sophisticated. Written in C++ and contains it’s own SMTP engine (it has a built in mail server). Outlook users, as usual, beware it compromises your address book and will attempt to disable your firewall and anti-virus software. More importantly, it presents itself as a Microsoft update and has slipped past many SPAM and virus filters on corporate e-mail servers. Microsoft has a patch, the real one, ready. The removal instructions are complicated but, most anti-virus programs should include the fix in their updates. Please run your updates on your AV software. A patch will likely be forthcoming from F-Prot and Symantec. So far, I can’t find one.
