Teams,

Starting with the Daily Reports generated on 2009-07-08 (UTC), there
will be two new "mwtype" possibilities in the "bots" report category:
"Grum" and "Zeus".  These refer to the malware commonly known by those
names, with "Zeus" being also commonly known as "Wsnpoem".  The
2009-07-07 UTC update to the "bots" category description page will
include details of what to look for in these infections - you will see
that update in a few hours at this URL:
