    2. Beryl OGorman
    3. Hi folks This one hit the news this morning and attacks the virus-protection software. Please read the following and once again I remind those who might be tempted DON'T OPEN ANY ATTACHMENT you have not verified with a known sender. It poses as a screensaver. VIRUS ALERT: W32/Goner Goner Worm Kills Antivirus, Firewall. The Goner worm is a mass- mailer with a mission. Targeting programs like Norton, McAfee, AVP, and ZoneAlarm, the worm shuts protection down and then tries to delete it. Affects Windows users. The message arrives with subject "Hi" and message body "How are you? When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you. I am in a hurry. I promise you will love it!" The attached file is approximately 39 Kb and is named "gone.scr" (Thanks to Missing Links Vol 6 No 47) Beryl O'Gorman Greensborough Victoria Australia List Admin
