Here are the instructions: Subject: Bugbear Virus CNN.com-"Bugbear" worm in, opens doors to hackes-Oct. 4,2002 My address book has been infected with a virus and as a result so has yours because your address was in my book.

Wrong. That file you need for Windows to work. Bugbear will be found by McAfee (that's what mine has done).
