Hi Gang,
Afraid this is bad news re another Virus again. I had copied Gareth's email
[thanks Gareth <G>!] and Sue Mackay for the warning!
Norton tells me that the latest little nastie is called *W32.maldal.d* and
it is again carried in an attachment and is spread via OE's address books.
Full details on the link below, but the preventative advice doesn't change;
Don't open attachments, update your AV now, etc etc.
NB, The worm will do a major damage on the infected machine by deleting
anti-virus software and also a lot of files with extensions such as .INI,
.PHP, .EXE, .COM, .MPEG,.DAT,.ZIP, .TXT, .EXE, .XLS, .DOC,.JPG
