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.
The subject of this mass mailing worm varies. IT WILL NOT ALWAYS SAY "MY PARTY". look for the led.exe label on the attachment. That is the clue that you are in contact with the W32.LED worm. Do not open the attachment. Delete it immediately and you should be fine.
