If You have not yet opened all your Happy New Year e-mails yet you might be the lucky one and if you have already done so its time for you to be careful when you open your next Happy New Year e-mails.
A Finnish computer security firm has warned about an e-mail worm named Luder-A or Tibs.jy that is supposed to spread with new year's greetings mails, It might come to your inbox as an attachment as postcard.exe or something similar and subject line as "Happy New Year" or something similar.
This e-mail worm will try to find all the e-mail address on your computer from contacts and all other places and send a copy of itself to those addresses and will also might shutdown all the security and antivirus programs on your computer.
Rated on level-2 on a scale of 1 to 3, Luder=A is supposed to be a dangerous worm.
New year comes with these new viruses that I hate to see.. Its time for me to run all the security updates on my comp :)

Interesting stuff.... but its not quite likely that i see a mail like tht in my gmail :) ... yes ..Yahoo mail is definitely prone to it.
You are the lucky one but If you want for the testing purpose I can send it to you whichever ID you want it in, gmail or yahoo ;)
