I received a message about this new "threat" , it's in the wild as they say but I haven't received any complaints about it at my firm... then again it's new so it could take a week before my "customers" discover it

What is it... it's these two programs someone can download at some website... with this programs you can watch funny cartoons... nothing wrong with that ...but..

The people who download them start sending out emails and and possibly also IM messages.. hmmm if they start sending these emails through the global addressbook of the firm ... no thank you .. so it's not a virus but it can still produce some amount of traffic and maybe frustrations ...so I thought of mentioning it here.

This comes from the website of Sophos and handles the files I was talking about.

This is a part of it :
App/ViewMov-A, App/Optimiz-A and App/CrmRest-A are a collection of internet-based applications for Microsoft Windows which have appeared on a website run by Avenue Media NV of Curacao. The applications are not viruses, but because of email traffic which can be generated by the applications, some users have become concerned.
But I recomend you go see the site as well
