People are being warned about a new e-mail virus that disguises itself as a message from Microsoft.

Anti-virus firms have told people to be on the look out for the e-mail worm which pretends to come from support@microsoft.com. The message comes with a variety of subject lines but the attachment should not be opened because it will infect users with a worm known as Palyh. Palyh will then copy itself to the Windows folder, and begin sending itself to all e-mail addresses it finds on a computer.Experts say the virus is now active in at least 69 countries.
