Symantec.cloud is aware that a new viral worm rapidly spread across the Internet on Thursday,
Sept. 9. 2010 The virus, known commonly as "here you have", is a hyperlink to a mass-mailer that is
masquerading as a PDF file. Symantec.cloud customers using Email Antivirus.cloud, Web Security.cloud or
Instant Messaging Security.cloud have been fully protected from this threat since the outset. The mail was
immediately identified by Skeptic™, our unique threat detection system, which
blocked all copies in the cloud before it could reach customers’ networks with no need for customers
to update patches or virus definitions. The outbreak is now over.
