I presume by now everyone knows about the worm virus that is rampant on the
mail lists. It came in (to me) three times yesterday and five or six so
far today. Be sure you don't open these attachments. I am trying to write
back and notify anyone that these have originated from. The worm attaches
to everyone in your INBOX and mails itself out.
The subject line always appears to be valid as it is a topic you and the
other person had previously discussed.
Some of them have said ReadMe.MP3.pif for example. Another is
SearchUrl.MP3.pif
The one below has come in from two different people today S3MSong.Doc.scr
Mail list messages should not come with attachments, and I am told that a
valid file never has two dots/two extensions in it.
Just a heads up to everyone--if you get these, delete immediately.
Karen
