A new worm purporting to contain a patch to defend against MyDoom is attacking Windows machines throughout Europe and parts of North America.

Sober.D appeared last week and began spreading in Germany and the United Kingdom. The worm arrives in an e-mail message with a subject line of “Microsoft Alert: Please Read!” and carries a sending address with a Microsoft domain.
