Viruses Spreading through Yahoo groups!

Now viruses are spreading through Yahoo Groups! The Virus mails itself
from a remote server identifying itself in a email address that is a
legitimate member of the group. So the message gets posted to the
group bypassing everything!

The virus promises funny pictures... When clicked, variants of the
MyWife virus gets loaded into the host system I think!

It is bypassing groups "members only post" feature by appearing as if
it is the sender by changing the "From" address! Lets hope something
is done about it.. Like authorising the server using Yahoo Domain Keys
or something!
