Blogdaughter Michele of Letters From New York City asked me to spread the word:

Yamanner arrives in a Yahoo mailbox bearing the subject header "New Graphic Site." Once the message is opened, the computer becomes infected and the worm spreads itself to people on the Yahoo e-mail contact list. The harvested e-mail addresses are also sent to a remote online server, which Symantec suspects may use the information for spam campaigns.

FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE VISIT CNET NEWS!

"Before opening your email program/client/browser to check your email PLZ update your anti-virus software so that you can catch this worm. Please note, If you're a yahoo messenger or music subscriber it's also attempting to come in through the launch applications in those programs. Luckily I always update my anti-virus before opening up application. Although I've got the Yahoo email beta the worm tried coming in through my Yahoo Music Launch program.

If you're viewing this please make sure you update your anti-virus before surfing any longer, because if you get it, you'll definitely pass it ON to everyone in your address list.

So be a good friend/neighbor and clean yourself up before visiting."
