A new variation of the Mytob worm enables hackers to gain remote control over infected computers.

The new variations also spread via e-mail. The content of these e-mails indicates problems with the e-mail account or with sent massages containing text such as: "To unblock your email account access, please see the attachment" or "We have suspended some of your email services, to resolve the problem you should read the attached document".

The attachment with the name "email-info", "email-text" or "email-doc" contains the dangerous worm.

The installation and regular update of a anti-virus program and a firewall are strictly recommended for security reasons.
