    1. Fwd: [ILSTANNE] Virus warning from Administrator
    2. Marsha Ott
    3. To Everyone on my list, I received this worm last night! I scanned it in Yahoo which said it was a virus. I then went to http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/ and had it scan my C: drive. It was ok. I am hoping it did not send it's self out to any of you. I have a e-mail blocker !0000.worm at the beginning of my address book, which is suppose to work in cases like this.

DO NOT respond directly to the list. A new virus is making the rounds (discovered May 18) and you are all advised to make sure your virus protection programs are up to date. If you haven't updated your viruscan programs since Sunday you may be vulnerable. The virus invades your system by sending an e-mail that would appear from [email protected] . But Microsoft doesn't use this address to send out e-mails. [email protected] is a mass-mailing worm that sends itself to all the email addresses that it finds in your files.
