I am reluctant to pass on virus info because so much of it is bogus. However, this one (Melissa) is apparently not. It is hitting the morning news. It involves an eMail message - usually from someone you know. In the eMail is a message saying "Here is the info you asked for . . . don't show anyone else." There is a list1.doc attached. Don't open it. It can use your eMail address list to send out 50 eMail copies of itself. It doesn't damage the local computer, but can sure overburden servers and use up your time and disk space. http://www.avertlabs.com/public/datafiles/valerts/vinfo/melissa.asp For what it's worth . . .
