Just a quick update that we are seeing reports of an old-school mass-mailing worm doing the rounds currently.
The emails it sends contain a link that pretends to point to a PDF, but it in fact points to a VisualBasic PE executable. So it has nothing to do with the latest Adobe 0-day we mentioned recently.
It spreads itself in email with the following message:

We have blocked the link URL, which means Sophos Live Protection prevents access to it. We also detect the malware itself as W32/Autorun-BHO.
