Verisign is warning of a new worm that travels via e-mail with the
subject "Happy New Year!" Users who open an attached executable file
trigger installation of several different malicious code variants on
their computers, which then execute mass mailings. The worm, which is
already being heavily spammed, is being sent via over 160 domains, the
security company said.
