  Microsoft Warns About 'Worm' Virus
Time: 03:38 EST/08:38 GMT | News Source: Yahoo News | Posted By: Alex Harris

Microsoft Corp. is warning its customers about a computer worm that exploits a flaw in its Internet Explorer browser. A security bulletin on the company's Web site says Microsoft started investigating a "mass mailer worm," dubbed W32/Mimail(at)MM, late Friday morning.

The worm spreads through e-mail if recipients open an attached zip file — used to condense information so it can move faster over the Internet — then open an HTML file inside the zip file, the bulletin said. The worm exploits a vulnerability the company addressed in a security bulletin issued April 23, the bulletin said. On Saturday, Microsoft spokesman Sean Sundwall downplayed the worm's potential to cause major security problems.
