Re: VIRUS ALERT!/ NETNEWS: NewsScan: Handheld Devices To Get In Sync

hi all

a little clarification re this virus:
it not only grabs every e-mail address in your computer
but monitors incoming e-mail and sends an automatic reply with itself attached

viz: each message that i have just sent to connie has come back to me
with an automatic reply with yet another copy of the virus
so connie isn't even sending out any mail herself

thus be warned; don't send any e-mail direct to connie for the time being

how the heck can we get these hackers interested in neurology?
