We have received as of late, a transmission from "Trend Micro", concerning a new virus running around. The Virus Is called

WORM_NICEHELLO.A Aliases: W32/Nicehello@MM, W32.Nicehello@mm, I-Worm.Nicehello, Win32/Nicehello.A@mm, Win32.Rivas.A worm
This UPX-compressed mass-mailing worm uses its own SMTP engine to propagate. It sends copies of itself to contacts found in the MSN Messenger contact list.

This worm has been raised to a Medium Risk Assessment for home users due to an increase in prevalence among home users only. Users with Hotmail addresses in MSN Messenger are especially vulnerable to this worm. This mass-mailing worm e-mails itself to all addresses found on the MSN Messenger contact list. It also sends the MSN Messenger username and password to the virus author in an e-mail message.

Please read what MSN and Trend Micro have to say about this new virus;
