Virus Check Necessary: Nimda

[Guest guest]

Dear List friends ~

 

I have just been watching the news and the US Attorney General was just

speaking. In his speech he mentioned that a new Internet virus, the purpose

of which is to clog up Internet services, has surfaced. He asks that we all

run a virus check on our computers and update our service. The new virus is

called Nimda (backwards for Admin.). Most virus services have the " cure "

for this and it is available to the public (see URL's below). Please

update your virus software and scan ASAP. This is a new virus that surfaced

either yesterday or early this morning.

 

Here are a few websites that have what sketchy information there is at the

time. If you run Outlook, please check these to see you are not propagating

this around.
