A new fake email is out proporting to be from Symantec (Norton) and giving you an update for their product with a zip file attached.

DO NOT OPEN IT!

It contains the W32.IRCBot.B Trojan that was just discovered today and will not be picked up as such from NAV, F-Prot, NOD-32, McAfee or AVG

Howdy Bazcaz:

As per McAffee...

This threat is considered to be a Low-Profiled risk due to media attention at: http://theinquirer.net/?article=11983

McAfee customers are proactively protected from this threat when using the 4245 DAT files (or newer) and the scanning of compressed executables option is enabled (default setting). The threat will be identified as IRC-Sdbot or W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.

Also, Norton already has the fix and the update for it on their site and it can be picked up by the program..
