[Tfug] Need help with an install

[Matthew T. Eskes]

Check the headers on that email. I highly doubt that was an email from
Microsoft with an update. Microsoft will never send an email with a
"security update" as the attachment. Microsoft will always update through
either Microsoft Update or Windows Update. With regards to that virus, it’s
a common, low to mid security update... more or less a worm and data miner.

I got an e-mail from M$ security telling me there was an important
update for Windows IE and some other stuff.  I clicked download with
virus scan.  Yahoo said there is a virus called "W32.Swen.A at mm" so I
downloaded to my Sun Ultra 30 running Debian.  It didn't work.  I tried
Ubuntu and Kubuntu with now luck.  Does anyone know where to file a bug
report on this virus?
