SMTP: .URL
This signature detects e-mail attachments with the extension .url sent through SMTP. This can indicate an incoming e-mail virus. .URLs (Internet Shortcut) contains a link to a Web location; attackers can create a malicious shortcut, tricking the user into executing the file and send the user to a malicious Web site.
Extended Description
