Spammed Trojan horse attempts to turn off security on attacked PCs.
Experts at SophosLabs?, Sophos's global network of virus, spyware and spam analysis centers, have warned of a Trojan horse that has been spammed out to millions of email addresses around the world.From:
The spammed out email messages, which have no subject line, typically carry the message text "new price" and an attached file which can have one of several names, including 09_price.zip, price_new.zip, and price2.zip.
The attached ZIP files all contain a malicious file called price.exe, which is the Troj/BagleDl-U Trojan horse. If launched the Trojan horse makes changes to the registry, runs Windows Notepad to act as a decoy, and attempts to turn off anti-virus and security-related software on the infected computer, opening the door for attack by remote hackers. The Trojan horse also tries to download further code from the internet.
