    3. If you get an email from me RE:Dominoes...DELETE IT! It has the new virus (Which sent it). If you open the attachment you will have the virus. The message reads: Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice See you later. Thanks I DIDN'T SEND IT. Here's some info from the Railroad Commission of Texas helpdesk: As many of you may have heard there is a new Virus making the rounds. This is a very dangerous worm virus. The virus has an extremely dangerous payload, and depending on different conditions it can delete files and fill up hard drive space. In many situations, this can render your machine unusable, even AFTER HelpDesk staff removes the virus. The virus may arrive from an outside address and the subject line may contain a random filename. The virus may contain attachments with double extensions including EXE files. In the mean time, please do your part and make sure you exercise safe computing practices by not opening or forwarding files that are not known to be clear of viruses. This includes files from outside the Commission as well as those files not related to State of Texas business. To update your virus software please make sure to shutdown (power off) your computers before you leave for the day. When you arrive tomorrow morning and power on your PC's you must click Next to continue when prompted to update your McAfee virus dat files. Please do not cancel this update. If you have any questions, please contact the Information Center HelpDesk at (512) 463-7229. Thank you for your help! Information Center Help Desk ITS Division - 8-180B
