    1. [MOJEFFER] Valid virus Warning from List Owner
    2. Patty Frazer
    3. Thanks to Betty Robertson, Here is a new valid virus warning - if you receive an email with one of these files attached and no subject - DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY and the EMPTY your TRASH CAN/RECYCLE BIN. For more information go to: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.mtx.html The following is a brief description of the files to look for: Worm component The worm component makes a copy of Wsock32.dll and names it Wsock32.mtx. The Send export function of this .mtx file is then modified to point to its own code. This allows the virus to mail a copy of the worm infected with this virus to the same person to whom the user sends an email (using the same program). Here are a list of file names that this virus might use when it sends the infected worm to other people. For those files with .pif extensions, the .pif extension might not be visible in your mail program.
