A shorter URL for the above link: http://tinyurl.com/2dvxnx9The email is entitled "Here you have" and holds within a link that appears to direct users to a PDF document.
In fact the link contains no documents but, if clicked, will enable the virus to access the user's Outlook address book and email itself to every contact contained within.
It will also attempt to disable any security programmes by deleting them, allowing it to remain hidden on the computer's hard drive.
The worm can also be passed on by unsecured links between computers sharing a network.

Besides email, the virus also uses open drive shares on a home or office network to spread itself even further. According to Symantec, just opening a folder that contains this file will launch the threat.
The link inside the original emails has now been taken offline, but a number of variants are already taking its place now.
