Re: URGENT: virus info
Rob & Tom, and all.
We had it here at work too. It gets into your address book and pulls names, then sends emails with the virus attachments. Since it appears to be coming from someone you know, you're likely to open the attachment, then you're "dead".
It was also in our local newspaper this morning with a list of the common email titles. Other ones are "wicked screen saver", and "your application". Drag those straight to the trash and empty your trash.
The "patch" for the Microsoft worm is available on the Microsoft web site.
By the way, my system is scrubbed clean now, so don't worry about getting it from me.
Be careful, and good luck to all.
Verne.
