I know that we aren't to send virus warnings, but I have gotten two of this virus from replies to my previous postings, and I can see this will be epidemic so I just want to say what happened when I received mine. If the email immediately offers to open or save the email....DELETE .... I received two of these as replies to previous emails I had sent... Then when I opened them... the box came up saying open or save... The first time warning bells went off in my head, but not onscreen....I deleted and updated. The next time my McAfee went off saying it was this nasty virus.... Hope you read this before you are among the unfortunate many...

Everyone has been warned to set your software so that attachments are not opened automatically. Everyone has been advised to delete ANY attachment that you are not aware that is coming specifically to you WITH you knowledge. There has been a new clue [wrinkle] in IDing virus messages, but it is not fool-proof. There appears to be an underline, "_" , before the e-mail address in the "From:" line. This prevents someone from automatically hitting the "reply" button when replying to that address without erasing that underline space. Earlier, in time, this was used by some folks to avoid their address' being used by spammers. This still may be the case. One of the ways this particular set of virus attacks can be slowed and maybe eventually stopped is to notify me, the ListOwner, <[email protected]>, and give me the following information: the from line information the exact name of the attachment(s) Please be sure to send both sets of information. An intelligent judgment cannot be otherwise. With this information I will take whatever action seems prudent.
