Welcome to IWETHEY!

New BTW
The worm is passed into the bulk mail folder. No scanning is necessary and none is performed for simple mail delivery. This is the real message posted on Yahoo groups:

Dear Yahoo! Groups Members,

Due to a recent outbreak of computer viruses being transmitted via email messages, Yahoo! Groups is experiencing delays in delivering group messages. To improve performance, and to help reduce the spread of viruses, Yahoo! Groups has had to temporarily reject some messages.

Based on an advisory posted by a leading anti-virus company, Groups will temporarily reject messages with the following subject lines:

test
hi
hello
Mail Delivery System
Mail Transaction Failed
Server Report
Status
Error

If you have attempted to post a message to Yahoo! Groups and have received a rejection notice with a link to this page, your computer may have been infected. If you are confident that your computer is not infected but your message was rejected, please try posting a new message with a subject line which is different than those listed above.

We can assure you that this is only a temporary measure and hope to restore message delivery to normal as soon as possible.

The only thing that appears on Groups pages is a link at the top center called "Service Announcement", pointing to the text above. If you are getting redirected as indicated above, you are infected.

New I"m not infected at all
All I've gotten through Yahoo since this morning are group posts and one letter from my Aunt.

I clear my Bulk Mail folder, I had all of two spams in it, and they were deleted this morning. No more have arrived since.

And I NEVER open an attachment without John around, so I wouldn't get infected that way, plus I don't use conventional mail programs or browsers.

I haven't been redirected at all, and the message I was referring to was in the "MY GROUPS" page, not just any group page. If you are a member of any Yahoo group, that is where the message appears, on the list of your groups.
EDIT: I checked and didn't see it there, interesting, but members of my group said it was there. I do have the Service Announcment link though, maybe it's different cause I'm a moderator/owner.

Anyway, I'm fine, no viruses here or even slightly suspicious mails.
