A: There is also a person going from yahoogroup to yahoogroup sending a 
virus packaged in a PDF with a name made to look like something you would 
expect. (latest one I got a few minutes ago said "AMC engine upgrades")

   --Phony Shockwave Sites
   (June 22, 2007)
   Malware purveyors have been creating phony Adobe Shockwave Player
   websites to trick users into downloading a Trojan horse program. Users
   visit sites related to online games or other activities that require
   Shockwave. The lure sites present the users with broken icons,
   indicating there is something wrong with their version of Shockwave, if
   it is already installed. The users are given links to a site that will
   purportedly diagnose the problem with Shockwave, which invariably turns
   out to be the need to upgrade. The users are then redirected to a phony
   site for the upgrade where a Trojan, rather than a working version of
   the software, is downloaded onto their computer.
