For those getting emails from Captian, VABusa, Pipefighter, etc. I am currently working with Jester to help him solve this. We have uncovered the following information:
EVERYBODY that has recieved an email from any of the above senders or anybody else, that contains un-solicited attachments, please scan your computers with updated virus scanners!
The email contains a virus payload that spreads by deleting security files that protect your computers. MAC based computers are not affected, and cannot be infected, but can speard the virus by forwading the message to someone else!
W32.Blackmal.E@mm is a mass-mailing worm that attempts to spread through network shares and lower security settings.
Also Known As: CME-24, Win32.Blackmal.F [Computer Associates], Email-Worm.Win32.Nyxem.e [F-Secure], Email-Worm.Win32.Nyxem.e [Kaspersky], W32/MyWife.d@MM [McAfee], W32/MyWife.d@MM!M24 [McAfee], W32/Small.KI@mm [Norman], Tearec.A [Panda Software], W32/Nyxem-D [Sophos], WORM_GREW.{A, B} [Trend Micro]

If you're email has been seen as an offender, you're computer may be infected!!!
This is not a joke!
