Got Here you have virus email, don't open it



Latest email virus is ready to haunt the security software of your computer if let it do it. This new email virus comes with a subject like with the subject "Here you have" and promises a link to free sex films, however once you click on it, it'll fill your inbox with multiple emails after infecting your address books. This virus has already caused much damage at some of the biggest businesses across the world today.

Comcast was forced to shut down its email servers entirely after being hit, a spokesperson said on Twitter. "Apparently, this virus (if you click on it) will pooch your PC if you shut it off if you're infected," she added.

"Good Morning America" weatherman Sam Champion was among those affected at ABC. He posted a message on Twitter that said a "huge email-spam-virus" was "filling up" his ABC News email account.

Emails that carry the virus contain a link that encourages readers to click on a PDF document file. But rather than a PDF, the file contains a Windows script that transmits a virus and spams the entire contact list of the person who opened the file.

The origin of the 'here you have' email virus is not yet known, nor is it the extent of its spread known, it is clear that a large number of email inboxes, mostly on corporate email systems have been infected with it.

Security experts say it is a low quality virus and can easily be taken down by installing or updating your anti-virus software.
