Re: virus sent

The virus was not sent by Jill, who uses a Mac which can't be infected with a Windows virus. Jill has not sent a message to Medit-Plants for about two years. The virus was most likely sent by another subscriber who had saved a message from Jill, or has been in correspondence with her, whose computer sent messages to and from all the addresses in its address book.

Technical details: There were two new viruses today: the Trojan Horse I mentioned before, and this one: W32.Beagle.AO@mm a mass mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to spread. The email attachment is a Mitglieder-like downloader that brings the worm from external sources.

The worm also has a backdoor functionality, opening UDP and TCP port 80.
