Warning: Mailicious emails, web sites

A malicious bugger named Trojan.Peacomm is making the rounds. This nasty thing can hide its files and processes, making it quite hard to detect. It arrives:

• As a file installed on your computer by other malware (malicious software) or
• As a file you unwittingly download when visiting malicious URLs.

It is also currently arriving in email Spam, with the emails using subject lines related to specific events. A few example subject lines:

A killer at 11, he's free at 21 and kill again!
Naked teens attack home director.
230 dead as storm batters Europe.
Radical Muslim drinking enemies's blood.
Chinese missile shot down Russian satellite
Saddam Hussein alive!
Venezuelan leader: "Let's the War beginning".
Fidel Castro dead.

Be paranoid -- people really are out to get you!
