"MiMail.c prevention and cure
By Robert Vamosi

Photo-promising MiMail.c worm packs a DoS threat

(10/31/03)

The latest e-mail worm disguises itself as a ZIP file of steamy photos from the beach. MiMail.c (w32.mimail.c@mm) is the third variant of the MiMail virus family, and so far the fastest spreading. It carries with it the potential for a denial-of-service attack and the potential for loss of personal information stored on an infected computer. It does not infect Linux, Mac, or Unix OSs. Because MiMail.c spreads via e-mail and may launch a denial-of -service attack, this worm rates a 6 on the ZDNet Virus Meter. "
