You would like to watch the video that promise you to unveil the " Truth about Michael Jackson's death"... and you get the new Worm.Win32.Kolab.E

This new worm spread itself through emails containing links that could be easily mistaken for YouTube video links. The email promise you to unveil the " Truth about Michael Jackson's death"...

Today we received a new mail that told us to watch a video that would've revealed the "Truth about Michael Jackson's death".

We didn't post video link's on purpose, to avoid that someone could get infected and help the propagation of the malware.

If you click on the video link, like for the Berlusconi Worm, the page will ask you to download a Media Player Codec to be able to watch the video.
The fake Codec in question will be the new worm named Worm.Win32.Kolab.E  that, if executed, proceeds to install a keylogger into user's PC.

We strongly recommend to decline any codec installation, at least if you're not sure of what you're doing and expecially if the codec comes from an email link.

To get more detailed informations about how the virus work just read the news about Worm.Win32.Kolab.D (aka Berlusconi Worm)
