The latest Windows mass mailer worm could be used by spammers to launch bulk mail blizzards from computers they don't own, a security researcher warns.
AV vendors are now reporting the Palyh worm (which poses as a message from support@microsoft.com) as a variant of Sobig-A.
Most vendors are renaming the virus as Sobig-B.
Sobig-A has been implicated in assisting spammers by installing proxy servers on machines it infected.
