The Brazilian Worm

If you receive an email with "Muito Bacana Incrivel" as the subject line, delete it. Do not open it, even if it appears to be from a friend. It is the W32.Imcontactspam worm. I received 3 of these in my Gmail box yesterday from someone in the Netherlands and it in turn sent out emails to everyone in my address book. If you tried to open the file that is attached to it, it probably has sent the same email to everyone in your address book by now. I found some INFORMATION about it this morning. I hate these Cyberly Transmitted Diseases.

If any of you have received an email bearing my email address, I apologize. Just run a simple adware scan and delete it. I doubt you got infected, however, because you have to actually try to open the file to do so.

Unfortunately, these things seem to make the rounds every once in a while.

  1. Hey, hon, go into my Outlook Express and delete the three messages that I got from you, if I haven't already.

  2. They looked suspicious so they went immediately into the trash. Netherlands, hmmmm? Isn't your friend from the Netherlands?

  3. I don't think this is him. I know a couple of people in the Netherlands and the email came from one of them.

  4. I figured something like that had happened when I noticed that you were suddenly emailing me in a foreign language. ;)
