However, the virus does spread through address books. The script re-creates itself on the computer of a person who tries to open it, then creates emails for everyone in the address book (probably only Micro$loth products), and attaches the copy to them. This list may strip it off, but if one person on the list is infected, they may (unintenionally) spread the virus to everyone in their address book -- merely by checking their email. Just don't double-click it -- throw it away! Tom Lundeen
