[Mark Ronning]

Here is some more sites that talk about this virus!

I think it a tough one! I am still getting e-mails, in addition to the mock
updates it hides itself as a failed e-mail with an attachment.

Here is the line from one of the 42 Microsoft fake emails I got.
hjgztng.exe was infected with the malicious virus Worm.Automat.AHB and has
been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.

This is also starting to show up in several of the Microsoft news groups.
With the page that it generates looking so much like a legitimate Microsoft

I'm afraid alot of the newer visitors to the forums will download and run
this thing.
