I don't like to send such mail talking about virus. But, This morning I sent an obituary to the list in regard to a Sarah Ring. I received a return mail with an attachment with <File: hamster.ZIP.scr (13312 bytes)> from a <kennethaas@email.msn.com(MSN/kennethhass)>. I did not open it. Has anyone else received such returned mail? I have received such attachment before. Just curious?? Hank

Hank, That is a virus called W32.Badtrans.1331@mm. It is a category 4 worm virus that installs a backdoor trojan. It spreads by replying to all your unread emails. Here is a URL to the symantec website with an in-depth explanation: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html John ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mabeone@aol.com> To: <VACARROL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2001 11:04 AM Subject: [VACARROL] Received an Attachment > I don't like to send such mail talking about virus.
