FW: VIRUS ALERT!: W32-ExploreZip.worm

["Retherford, Martin" <MRetherford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gentlemen & Ladies,
	Please take note.  This was passed down from my MIS department.  I
want to spread the word so we can limit this thing.  According to radio
reports this virus has wasted Boeing Corp's network along with two other
major companies that I don't remember.
