New Instant Messanger Virus!

Public service announcement:

 

Just a warning that there's a new virus/worm being sent out via Instant Messanger. It'll be a message from someone you know saying something like, "Oh my god, check out this link!!!!" It generally contains expletives as well. The website they want to click is something like www-microsoftliveupdate-biz and spawns up a couple of other sites as well.

 

From what I understand, you'll get at on of porn on your desktop (some people here might not mind that :censored: ), but we're not sure what the payload of the actual infection is yet (nor are the anti-virus companies, as of a few hours ago).

 

I know it affects Windows Messagner - not sure what other IM software it will attack.

 

I have no specific links, I'm just relaying what we found at our company this afternoon.
