I am hoping to forestall another rash of virus messages on the lists.
A new worm seems to be spreading itself rapidly. It is called the WORM_GONER.A.
It manifests itself by mailing itself to everyone in your Outlook
address book and possibly thru ICQ and or mIRC.
If you get a message with the subject of "Hi" and the text:
How are you ?
When I saw this screensaver, I immediately thought about you
I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!
Attachment: GONE.SCR
do not open the attachement. Among other things it will try to delete
files including your anti virus software
If you need help go to either:
http://www.symantec.com
http://www.mcafee.com
Click on the "Alert" box that is on the home page of either site.
The iris-talk and iris-photos lists are *NOT* a forum for discussing
problems associated with computer viruses. I am sorry. Viruses are
terrible, but there are other forums to get help (including writing to
me privately), and things you can do to keep from ever being infected.
Three golden rules:
Get a virus checker
Update it *EVERYTIME YOU LOG ON*
*DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING*
