‘Here you have’ e-mail worm spreads quickly

 Security experts warned Thursday of a fast-spreading e-mail worm, the first large outbreak of this type in nearly a decade.

The worm appears in e-mail messages with the subject “Here you have,” and contains what seems to be a link to an Adobe PDF file. In fact the link takes the victim to a Web page hosted on the members.multimania.co.uk domain that then tries to download a screensaver (.scr) file. If the user agrees to installing that file, he is then infected by the worm, which mails itself to his e-mail contacts.
