New Melissa Virus



There is a new virus floating around that is targeting Outlook and
Microsoft mail installations. Network Associates has created an update page
at http://www.avertlabs.com/public/datafiles/valerts/vinfo/melissa.asp with
all the latest information for checking for the virus and removing it. The
initial message to infect comes with 

"Important Message From ? <User Name>" 
The message body of text reads 
"Here is that document you asked for ... don't show anyone else ;-)". 

Since it reads information from the senders address book, the <User Name>
above will be someone you know (and possibly trust). The attached file is
most commonly called List.Doc

If you get anything that resembles the above information, please delete the
attachment to be safe.
