Hi Again Helen, the list owner of the Dorset List has just posted the following message and has agreed that I may post it here for your benefit - so apologies though to those who may see it twice. "I - and other listers - have received the following: "try to stop you at.eml", with an attachment "unregmp1.exe" from james.pettinger@ntlworld.com It has the appearance of a virus, masquerading as a game. The main part of the message referred to a game called "Squark .... pure arcade action", and to "WORDMIX (sic) ... an educational word game". This is a new virus and an extremely nasty one. Make sure your virus checker is up to date and I cannot repeat too many times - DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN OF THEIR CONTENTS. Go back to the sender and double check before you open." >From further research Helen tells me that the payload is a virus called W32/Magistr-A which you can read about at: http://www.sophos.co.uk/virusinfo/analyses/w32mag.html This can also come with other phrases such as: sentences you sentences him to sentence you to ordered to prison convict judge circuit judge trial judge found guilty find him guilty affirmed judgment of conviction verdict guilty plea trial court trial chamber sufficiency of proof sufficiency of the evidence proceedings against the accused habeas corpus jugement Enough said I hope! And all on an Easter Week-end too - or it nearly was :-( Regards Paul Portland
