| Custom What?  |  New virus disguised as PayPal e-mail One for you Paypal users out there!!! A computer virus that camouflages itself as a message from PayPal has started spreading among home users, antivirus companies said on Friday. The program is a variant of the Mimail virus, which has previously spread by appearing to be a security advisory from Microsoft. The latest version of the program is attached to an e-mail forged to look as though it came from PayPal, an online payment service bought by eBay last year. Running the program infects the victim's computer and asks the PC user for credit card information, which the virus then sends to the attacker. Get more details here .
