There are new variations of an already existing e-mail worm. Paypal customers are the target. The subject line of the infected email says, "YOUR PAYPAL.COM ACCOUNT EXPIRES." The virus appeared Friday in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, & South Africa.

The message threatens to close the recipient's PayPal account, unless they respond. It warns not to send credit card info by e-mail, and asks instead that they click the attached file.

The file opens a pop-up window, which has spaces to fill in credit card #, PIN, security code, and expiry date. The information is then sent by the virus to the virus' writer, and the virus is send along to the recipient's email address book list.
