Some users have started seeing this Outlook-address-book using variant on
accounts here, even though it's not yet a high-risk threat on the
anti-virus sites.
It uses the subject line "Enjoy this frienship-joke screen saver" or even
"Have a nice day", and does the usual spewing out of itself across address
book listings, changes to the Windows registry, etc. Please be sure your
anit-virus programs are updated, as this was just "discovered" a few days
ago.
