Attack of the Sober.P virus

I received five virus laden e-mails today - each with the Sober.P virus. The e-mails all tried to get me to open variously named .zip files claiming to hold account or password information or e-mails that could not be sent. Hotmail's virus checker picks up on the virus and rightly refuses to allow you to download the attachment.

Apparently this virus is on the upsurge and additional information can be found at Secunia.

Keep your anti-virus program updated and never download suspicious attachments.
