Virus Resurfaces... Pay close attention...

[Murray Charters <Murray_Charters@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeanne,
I received 8 e-mails from your address today.  They were automated responses
to posts I placed on the Parkinson List...
All e-mails were 140,000+ characters
Each e-mail contained an attached file

One was named humor.exe
One was named s3msong.exe
One was named midsong.exe
One was named card.exe

I didn't open them... I deleted them immediately.

I believe your computer is infected with the same virus that was sent
to members of the Parkinson List (Andrew Haynes, Don Mckinley, Connie Tate)
last month.  I belive it is generating automated responses when you read your
e-mail.  These responses are designed to propagate the virus.

Please call a pro and get the virus wiped off your hard drive if you are
unable to follow the advice below.

Here is a copy of Andrew Haynes post re: how to handle this virus...
