Linda,
There was an attachment on your mail that had a worm in it. It is
similar to a virus but apparently not as serious.
Anyone who opened the attachment in the letter with the subject Winter
Interest from Linda has the worm now.
Linda, look in your Windows System directory and see if you have any
files named.
LISTE.SKA
SKA.DLL
SKA.EXE
these are part of the worm.
the SKA is the attachment renamed. It attaches itself to your mail that
you send out.
It can be removed with Norton Antivirus. It is fairly new. Try asking
someone who knows about these things.
The attachment was opened by me and I was infected.
It is a fireworks display. Today I sent it to my husband through the
worm. You don't even know it is being sent.
It arrives as a second post by you and then the original post you made
also appears. SO it is hard to catch it.
In the LISTE.SKA file it keeps a limited entry of who it sent the file
to.
I am just telling this to make you aware that you probably have it on
your harddrive now.
