[sdiy] [OT] PSA: List Member Virus Alert

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I received an infector attachment in an email
with (some) header lines of:

From: "Jay A Kolaric" <_jay_kolaric at bigpond.com>
Subject: Re: Re: [sdiy] 555 vco success

The attachment was named "DOCS.DOS.PIF", which is
highly suspect in and of itself.  The email contained
no text message.

I wrote my own email system, so this did not affect me, 
however I looked at the file with some binary tools
and it is definately an executable which possibly
attempts to manipulate several Windoze kernel files as
well as winsock.dll and some registry entries.

Sorry for the interruption in SDIY talk, please continue...
