Evaman Computer Virus
Evaman is another mass mailer worm. It is like the MyDoom worm that cost businesses hundreds of millions of dollars in January. Evaman reportedly uses a false email address to generate messages with an attachment that carries a virus.
By opening the attachment, people can unleash the virus onto their computer, where it automatically starts sending out dozens of new messages.
The messages carrying the virus usually had subject headings like "failed transaction" and "failure delivery".
