Virus writers have begun distributing their wares in emails that pose as Lycos's abandoned "Make love not spam" screensaver.

The fake screensaver emails contain an attachment with a RAR SFX archive that has embedded key logger Trojan inside, antivirus firm Sophos warns. Infected emails come in emails with subject lines such as "Be the first to fight spam with Lycos screen" and an attachment called "Lycos screensaver to fight spam.zip".

Upon successful installation, the key logging Trojan (Mdropper-IT) sends a message to an Indonesian email address confirming its status. The screensaver file, rather than displaying the Lycos screensaver, displays a blank screen.

I'm thinking that Lycos is a lot like the original Napster. It seems like a good idea and everyone wants to use it. The drawback, its sorta not legal. They are technically within the law but not because it's right, but because legislature hasn't been drafted yet.

Gotta hand it to them for trying though.
