　　YOUR PAYPAL.COM ACCOUNT EXPIRES

郵件正文：

　　Dear PayPal member,
　　PayPal would like to inform you about some important information regarding your PayPal account. This account, which is associated with this email address will be expiring within five business days. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, but this is occurring because all of our customers are required to update their account settings with their personal information.
　　We are taking these actions because we are implementing a new security policy on our website to insure everyone's absolute privacy. To avoid any interruption in PayPal services then you will need to run the application that we have sent with this email (see attachment) and follow the instructions. Please do not send your personal information through email, as it will not be as secure.
　　IMPORTANT! If you do not update your information with our secure application within the next five business days then we will be forced to deactivate your account and you will not be able to use your PayPal account any longer. It is strongly recommended that you take a few minutes out of your busy day and complete this now.
　　DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE VIA EMAIL! This mail is sent by an automated message system and the reply will not be received.
　　Thank you for using PayPal.

附件：

　　paypal.asp.scr

　　像先前的版本一樣，最新版本的 Mimail 病毒以附件的形式附著在電子郵件里。發信人偽造成 donotreply@paypal.com 郵件地址，其目的也是故意偽造欺騙收件人并告知有關使用者的 PayPal 賬戶的信息。信件中的： 'YOUR PAYPAL.COM ACCOUNT EXPIRES' 語句復含在英文文本里，它要求收件人修改更新他們個人 PayPal 賬戶的信息并付上文件。

　　郵件的附件一旦被打開，蠕虫就會完全控制受害者的機器。如果受害者中了Mimail病毒，屏幕上會彈開一個關于 PayPal 信用卡的通知請求窗口。將所輸入的信息存儲在一個名為 "ppinfo.sys" 的文件中，蠕虫會將郵件發給病毒制造者。

　　卡巴斯基公司強烈要求 Internet 用戶全面提防新版本的 Mimail 蠕虫病毒。同時強烈呼吁所有用戶警惕來歷不明郵件的附件，并盡快升級病毒數據庫。
