Here is the information I received from Norton:

 

Type: Worm

Category: Win32

Also known as: W32/Stration!ITW#32 (WildList), W32/Stration!ITW#41 (WildList), Win32/Stration.1lj!DLL!Worm (InoculateIT), Win32/Stration.5sj!Worm (InoculateIT), Win32/Stration.8re!DLL!Worm (InoculateIT), Win32/Stration.8xq!DLL!Worm (InoculateIT), W32.Stration.AC@mm (Symantec), Win32.Stration.AN (EZ Antivirus), WORM_STRATION.BB (Trend), WORM_STRATION.BJ (Trend), Win32/Stration.Variant!Worm (InoculateIT), W32/Stration@MM (McAfee), W32.Stration@mm (Symantec), W32/Warezov.R@mm (F-Secure), Email-Worm.Win32.Warezov.x (Kaspersky)

I received the information around 8:00 AM and by 4:00 PM most anti-virus software had been updated to handle the new strain.  Mine updated around 2:00 PM.  Since we get our posts via e-mail as attachments, I thought it might be a good idea to let everyone know about this strain of the Warezov.w virus since it come sas an attachment as well.  It's always a good idea not to open any attachment unless you are expecting an e-mail with an attachment from someone.  Sorry for all the confusion.

This information arrived to me this morning, direct from both Microsoft and
Norton.  The Warezov.W virus has a new strain that is so new the virus scan software has not been able to pick it up yet to protect your PC.

You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled "Mail Server Report"

 

Did you actually, yourself, receive the information from Microsoft and Norton, or is that what an e-mail, received by you, said and you are forwarding it on to us? I only ask because these things circulate for years sometimes. People see them for the first time and believe they are new but actually they are a couple of years old and the anti-virus programs learned how to deal with them a long time ago.
