Here You Have On My Email - What is This?

I received an email yesterday with the title "Here You Have", since the sender is unknown I immediately thinks it was a virus email.

Here's what will happen, you will receive an email with the subject line “Here You Have“. At the content of the email it says, “Hello… this is the document I told you about, you can find it here,” that has link to a PDF file but if you’ll click on it you’ll be directed to a page hosted by multimania.co.uk (it is actually a free hosting website owned by Lycos) that tries to download a screensaver file. The download needs the confirmation of the user. If the user agree to download, then the screensaver file will be downloaded and automatically activating itself infecting your PC.

The worm alter the registry file to make sure that its program will run everytime your computer/PC is powered on. Then it accesses your OutLook, looks for the email addresses and then send the “Here You Have” email to the email addresses, thus spreading itself.

This can also spread not only on emails but via USB drives as well. If it detects a USB drive, it creates a copy at the drive which is designed to automatically be activated once the USB drive is inserted to a certain PC or laptop.

Warning, if you received an email with the subject line “Here You Have”, don’t ever click any link within the content of it to avoid the infection.
