"Sober" Variation Making Rounds

It has come my attention that a variation of the “Sober” virus is making it around the Internet. It is arriving via an email attachment.

The attachment will most likely have one of the following titles:

pword_change.zip

KlassenFoto.zip

The virus is a varient of the Sober.K virus which originated early this year. More information on its predecessor at Snopes.com.

Remember to never download attachments or click hyperlinks in messages sent to you by unfamiliar addresses. You may end up downloading a malicious program to your computer without even knowing it. Also keep you anti-virus and firewall software up-to-date.
