    3. Note that in this virus, the attachment looks like a webpage so the virus is VERY DECEIVING!!! I am trying to get to as many people as possible so some of you are going to receive more than once. gloria ------------------------------------------- MYPARTY VIRUS The latest virus infecting computers worldwide is W32\Myparty, a malicious computer worm that propagates through an e-mail attachment by masquerading as a web page link of photographs from a party. The name of the apparent web page is myparty.yahoo.com. The text accompanying the attachment reads: Hello! My party ... It was absolutely amazing! I have attached my web page with new photos! If you can, please make color prints of my photos. Thanks! The worm spreads upon execution by sending itself to every e-mail address in the infected computer user's Microsoft Outlook address book. E-mails received through the Outlook system should already have had this file removed. However, if you are using a third party e-mail system, such as Hotmail, to receive e-mails and you receive one with similar text, please delete it without clicking on any web pages or attachments.
