FYI I am notifying all who have sent me Emails with attachments since Monday 6/19. One of those attachments contained a virus that my Email virus scan picked up and quarantined. The virus name is Wscript.KakWorm. I recommend updating your virus scans. thanks
This virus is passed by sending a file through the signature in Outlook Express. If you are concerned, please do a file find for kak, and if you find any, you are infected. It is relatively easy to clear up, but it also spreads very easy. If you are infected, you are sending it out as a signature file with every email you send. Please check by looking at Tools - Options - Signatures. When I had this at work it showed a default file, but down below it showed that the default file is the kak file. Please see virus software sites that talk about this. Best of luck, Laura Gilmore ----- Original Message ----- From: C.A.
