Virus

Posted by Bob P (129.65.46.87) on November 26, 2001 at 09:14:31:

I've received 4 e-mails with a virus attached in the past two days. The sender names are things like "hempnall", "abledata". I recognize some of these handles so I'm figuring it's got hold of someones address book and is sending itself out to the people in the list.The attachment has a double extension. It's like, "Pics.DOC.srv" or "Sorry.DOC.srv". DO NOT open these attachments, it is the virus.Hope this helps.
