Virus Alerts

A new variant of MyDoom is taking advantage of the IFRAME buffer overflow exploit in Internet Explorer. However instead of sending out emails with the worm, it just sends out the link back to the infected machine. This is ingenious considerng the emails may pass antispam and antivirus filters - however, it will be easier for administrators to track down where the infection came from and who is infected.
