Be careful of worshiping Pandas showing up on your system!! Machines have been getting infected by a piece of malware called W32/Fujacks. The virus files have an icon of a panda holding incense sticks. We have seen several variants of Fujacks since Nov 2006.

Early variants of Fujacks were a worm that spread through network shares with weak passwords and infected executables. Several of the variants can infect web based files like .html, .asp, .php, etc. The infected html files are detected as W32/Fujacks!htm. The html files are infected by appending an iframe tag. When these html file are opened through a browser, they will download another variant of this virus. Recently, we have also seen variants that infect both executables and the html files.

More information around this threat can be found at W32/Fujacks, W32/Fujacks.worm and W32/Fujacks!htm. We at McAfee Avert Labs continue to protect our customers against this threat and recommend users to exercise caution while browsing unknown links and not to execute files that are not from trusted sources.
