According to yesterday's Memphis paper, an e-mail virus will be spread to
hundreds of thousands of computers this morning through e-mail.
According to the paper, the subject line will be "An important message
from" followed by a name in your address book. The body will read, "The
attached document must be read immediately" (or something to that effect).
The attachment contains the virus.
Opening the e-mail itself will not spread the virus, but opening the
document will. Actually, when the document is opened, it will spread the
virus not only to your computer but to the first 50 names in your address
book.
You should delete the document from your e-mail, the e-mail attach folder,
and the Recycle Bin.
The Memphis paper states that this virus has been acknowledged by whatever
national watchdog checks these things!
