VIRUS WARNING (was: Terry Pacey problem and info to help)

["Paul Taylor" <>]

Thanks Jon - I had received three copies of this worm ("virus") tonight,
from three separate people; it must be spreading fast.

It wasn't detected by my virus scanner despite it having an automatic
update feature - the new update hadn't been downloaded before the emails
were already on my computer.

I didn't get infected because I *never* open emails with attachments until
I've viewed the raw message text first (preferably under Unix/Linux.)
The double extension on the attachment (e.g. "file.jpg.scr") is a classic
sign of a worm, so it went straight in the bin.

                           I came, I saw, I ticked.
