RE: [Full-Disclosure] Sober.I worm is here

["Todd Towles" <toddtowles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It arrives at .doc, .txt and .word? 

Where are you seeing that?

 It can't be very dangerous as a TEXT file. As far as I know it uses the
normal "double extensions" tricks. Any good email filter should pick
this up and you should be fine. Anyone that just clicks on random
attachments in their e-mail and doesn't have anti-virus, should get
infected. 

At least, they are letting someone that knows something use your
computer for something..lol j/k
