If You Get This E-Mail, Delete It ASAP
If you get this e-mail, do not click on or download the attachment. Delete the e-mail immediately. This is what it looks like:
Subject: your account

Attachment: message.zip
The attachment is a worm that evades antivirus software and takes advantage of a flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, reports CNN. It's officially called "worm/MiMail.A" or "W32.Mimail.A@mm." The worm began spreading late Friday afternoon. Since it arrived as a zip file, it snuck through many e-mail scanning programs most companies have in place to block the entry of potentially dangerous programs that are disguised as e-mails.
If you click on the attachment, the worm will launch and then create a mass-mailing of itself. CNN reports that it's not yet known what "malicious payload" the worm contains. The immediate threat is that it will cost companies money and time as their computer systems are significantly slowed by it.
