Nostalgic? Sober up.
Feeling nostalgic for those friends you made back at school? If you are, resist the temptation to click on any messages about school reunions that ask if you're the person in the attached picture ... which of course, says F-Secure, is not a picture..
What it is [you've guessed already, right?] is a new variant of the Sober worm.
And on the topic of malware, CME is a great initiative aimed at ending the existing confusion in which different anti-virus vendors give the same virus different names. This new Sober worm, for instance, is variously identified as Sober.R, Email-Worm.Win32.VB.b, W32.Sober.Q@mm, W32/Sober-O etc. The CME identifier for it is CME-151.
