Virus Alert: "Anna" Virus

There's a new virus spamming the world. VBS/SST, also known as

the "Anna" virus, has some of the same characteristics as last year's

ILOVEYOU worm; namely, it sends itself to others using addresses

from your Microsoft Outlook address book. Antivirus software companies

are still investigating this new worm. We do know that "Anna" is a

mass

mailer: once you open the attachment, VBS/SST spawns new messages

containing the virus and sends them off to everyone listed in your

Microsoft Outlook address book. Consequently, "Anna" has the capacity

to overload e-mail servers.

This new VBS virus arrives via e-mail with the following information:

Here you have, ;o)

Body: Hi: Check This!

Clicking on the attachment activates the worm. To protect yourself,

don't open any suspicious email attachments. Also, make sure you have

the latest antivirus definitions running on your system.
