Security experts have warned that new variant of Gibe-A email worm is in the wild.

The malware spreads by attaching itself to an email which claims to contain a security upgrade from Microsoft.

If the payload is delivered the worm installs a number of files on PCs. The worm also leaves machines vulnerable to outside control.

The worm also emails itself to all the addresses in the user's email account.
