http://www.daylily.hispeed.com/bilson/bilson.htm If your anti virus software does not automatically update itself, my
recommendation would be to manually update it.
Be on the lookout for a subject that
reads:
"I_wanna_see_you.txt.Pif". If you see this one in your mailbox, please delete at once. Do not open. Take care,

virus known as the W*@MM worm is now loose on the
Internet.
While is it is not widely circulated at this time, McAfee lists its risk assessment as "Medium." Virus Characteristics W*@MM is a combination of a files infector virus and e-mail worm. -The viral code infects 32 bit PE type files (.exe) files in the WINDOWS directory and subdirectories. -The worm part is using mass mailing techniques to send itself to email addresses stored in several places. The worm installs itself to run at each system startup. Once again, just be certain not to open its attachment, and be certain to delete any suspicious looking mail from unknown sources. You can read more details about the W32/Magistr@MM worm at the following McAfee website: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99040&
