    FYI

    Prolly gonna be another thousand of these in my mailbox tomorrow. Quite a nasty little bugger :)
    W32.Nimda.A@mm is a new mass-mailing worm that utilizes email to propagate itself. The threat arrives as a file named readme.exe in an email.

    In addition, the worm sends out probes to Microsoft IIS servers attempting to spread itself by using the Unicode Web Traversal exploit similar to W32.BlueCode.Worm. Compromised servers may display a webpage prompting a visitor to download an Outlook file which contains the worm as an attachment.

    Also, the worm will create an open network share allowing access to the system. The worm will also attempt to spread via open network shares.
