every one up date your anti virus.....and be aware and alert........ kim Dec. 4 - Security researchers are warning computer users about a new virus that is spreading rapidly across the United States. The virus - called "Goner" - arrives as an e-mail, masquerading as a note from a friend with a new screen saver attached. But it's really a malicious program that attempts to delete antivirus software as it infects victims. Goner is "wreaking havoc," according to one researcher, having already infected thousands of computers at major corporations. The virus arrives with the subject line "Hi." The message body says: How are you ? When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you I am in a harry, I promise you will love it! The attachment, which actually contains the virus, is called "gone.scr." Goner spreads in the familiar way, by grabbing e-mail addresses from the Microsoft Outlook address book and sending itself to every entry. Most antivirus products have been updated to detect the program; users are advised to update their anitvirus products immediately.
