New Trojan Warning...Complete With Spam Complaint

Dear Warriors:

One of my hosting clients got an 'interesting email' and I figured I'd post the details here in case you get this one.

The body of the email follows:

There was an attached file to it that was a zip file that supposedly contains IP logs that allegedly prove a crime. Inside was...lo and behold, an exe file masquerading as a pdf!

My spidey sense told me then and there this was a very, very suspicious file indeed. So, like the trained professional I am, I send a copy of the file to Symantec to see what's up.

Turns out the thing is infected with 'Infostealer.Banker.C' which is explained below:

Infostealer.Banker.C - Symantec.com

Lesson: If you get an email similar to this one, ignore it and delete immediately. It's not a real spam complaint, just some yahoo trying to hack your machine.
