Hi all I don't know how any of you feel about this "thing" ... but I'm fed up with getting those &$*^@ "attachments" from those who can't seem to keep (or even have) an up-to-date virus program . Symantec (Norton AV) has a "utility" that can be downloaded from this URL .... http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b @mm.html Find it near the bottom of the site ... in the area that says: **** "The preferred way to remove this worm is to use the [email protected] Removal Tool. If you are not able to obtain it for any reason, you must remove the worm manually. Manual removal" ***** Be sure to follow the instructions given!
