McAfee has sent out a virus alert for a new e-mail malware infection. If you receive an e-mail with the following text “Here You Have” or “Just for You” you should delete them immediately. The following is part of an article from Yahoo News.

Security experts warned Thursday of a fast-spreading e-mail worm, the first large outbreak of this type in nearly a decade.
The worm appears in e-mail messages with the subject “Here you have,” and contains what seems to be a link to an Adobe PDF file. In fact the link takes the victim to a Web page hosted on the members.multimania.co.uk domain that then tries to download a screensaver (.scr) file. If the user agrees to installing that file, he is then infected by the worm, which mails itself to his e-mail contacts.
As always you should be extremely careful of any e-mail you receive, whether in your corporate or personal e-mail account. Even if it is coming from someone you know, be careful of clicking on any links.
