It's a pity that someone would use this tragedy to take advantage of
folks.
Be careful!
Love,

Subject: ***VIRUS ALERT: PEACE BETWEEN AMERICA AND ISLAM***
The Mailtask Product Group has informed us of a new virus worm
threat. It comes with the subject "Peace Between America and Islam". The
attached virus uses email to propagate itself. Additionally, it modifies
your autoexec.bat to format your hard drive when you restart you
computer. The virus comes as an attachment and is called "wtc.exe". If
you receive a message with this attachment, DO NOT OPEN IT. Delete the
message, and call the TAC with your name so that we can keep track of
individuals who received the email.
Currently, a pattern file does not exist for this new virus, so
your virus protection software may not catch it. On Mailtask, we are
blocking any attachment called "wtc.exe" from the divine system.
However, if you use other sources for email such as Hotmail or Yahoo,
you may not be protected.
