Mail... but... Trojan !

, , ,

Take care about this...

According to "iDefense" specialists, a 'contaminated mail' is flying through the web... This mail includes a PowerPoint file (.ppt) with a Trojan (only for PCs/Microsoft applications). The mail subject is " Merry Christmas to our hero sons and daughters ! " and the attachment file is " Christmas+Blessing-4.ppt "

This worm is sent from a server located in China, said Ken Dunham, and after your PC is contaminated 2 new files are then installed (msupdate.dll and sdfsc.dll).

There are other cases:

1, The user uses Outlook either the updated version or not
2, The user didn’t update, coz’ as far as I know, the Microsoft has fixed the power-point “problem” long ago
3, The user enabled “automatic attachment and script opening and/or running”
