Virus unintentionally sent


For those of you who have been active in this discussion group recently, my computer may have sent you a message from me with no content but a virus attached. I have disinfected my system and am no longer spreading the virus. However, if you received a message from me previously, I recommend the following:
 
  1. Delete any messages from me still stored on your computer.
  2. Do not open any messages from me with no content.
  3. Get the latest update available for your virus detection software.
  4. Run a virus scan.
The virus was W*@mm. It randomly selected e-mail addresses on my system and sent itself out as an attachment to an e-mail with no message or as a reply to one I had received. I apologize for any inconvenience. These things are dastardly.
