Folks...off-topic but when our computer security division sends an alert
they are generally on target...

FYI
 A new feature was discovered in the virus called W32/Sobig-F 

The virus is extremely complex, and is using a number of techniques
     to mask its activities. For more details, please see:

 At 3:00pmEDT/1:00pm MDT/12:00 MST today and again
on Sunday, all infected systems - quite likely more than a million
worldwide at this point - are programmed to download a new program,
from host systems which are not yet known. 

Clear skies,
Al
