Guest guest Posted December 17, 1999 Report Share Posted December 17, 1999 Dear Mother Madhusudani Radha and all devotees, The virus is called w32.newapt.worm. This is an email-aware worm that forwards itself as an attached executable file in an email message to addresses in your address book. If you see the following text: he, your lame client cant read HTML, haha. click attachment to see some stunningly HOT stuff or you get a an attachment that says the following: http://stuart.messagemates.com/index.html Hypercool Happy Year 2000 funny programs and animations?. We attached our recent animation from this site in our mail ! Check it out! DO NOT RUN THIS EXECUTABLE. It will start sending itself out to everyone in your address book. Also be wary of any message of this nature with an attachment that is sent to you supposedly from your own address! This worm virus is spreading like wildfire over the Internet. My company, Medical Manager Research & Development, has been infected and has removed the virus. If you have run the executable, your computer has been infected. You'll have to use an anti-virus software to get rid of it. Since the virus is brand new, you'll probably have to get the latest downloads for the anti-virus software that you use. Good luck! BTW, ALWAYS BE WARY OF EMAIL ATTACHMENTS!
