We have a Contact 13 consumer alert about a new computer virus. The Better Business Bureau says the scam promises an unlimited number of the popular sudoku puzzles.

When you open the file, it says you must disable the software's security setting. But when you do that, it allows the malware to run on your computer. 

According to computer security blog Naked Security, it then scans your system, and steals sensitive information.
