New Trojan
Rendezvous

www.astalavista.com:
There are folders on your computer that Microsoft has tried hard to keep secret. Within these folders you will find two major things: Microsoft Internet Explorer has been logging all of the sites you have ever visited -- even after you've cleared your history, and Microsoft's Outlook Express has been logging all of your e-mail correspondence -- even after you've erased them from your Deleted Items bin. (This also includes all incoming and outgoing file attachments.) Read more

An email purporting to offer a patch to a Trojan horse scanner, popular in Germany, is actually an Internet worm.
The worm arrives in an email with:
Subject line:
"ANTS Version 3.0"
Body text of email:
"Hi,
Anh�ngend die neue Version 3.0 von ANTS, dem bislang einzigartigen kostenlosen Trojanerscanner. Zum installieren einfach die angef�gte Datei ausf�hren.
Attached you will find the brand new Version 3.0 of ANTS, the unique freeware trojan scanner. To install ANTS simply run the attached setup file.
Adieu, Andreas
