Just had our email server battered today by another virus I'd not had any warnings of. Sends a message looking like its an email from Macroemdia about Flash and then emails itself on to the content of your address book if opened.

Titles is somthing like "x y z Flash"

Be warned and be careful

Allan,

A pal e-mailed me this morning as follows:

=================
VIRUS ALERT - W32/ProLin@MM

Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber:

W32/ProLin@MM is an Internet worm that spreads via
email. McAfee AVERT has given it a risk assessment of
MEDIUM TO HIGH-RISK. The email comes with an
attachment named CREATIVE.EXE, which carries the icon
of a Shockwave Media Player application.
You may receive the email in this format:

Subject = A great Shockwave flash movie
Body = Check out this new flash movie that I
downloaded just now ... It's Great
Bye
Attachment = creative.exe
If you run CREATIVE.EXE, it finds and alters all .JPG
and .ZIP files on your system and forwards a copy of
itself to everyone in your email address book.
Please do not run the attachment.
==============
Sounds similar? David
