Re: [aus-soaring] DELETE my recent mail

Fear not Peter   You, me and a host of others.  my virus protection has now been upgraded but a midweek off-schedule update was needed to cover this one.   And if you haven't got it yet, please update your protection RIGHT BLOODY NOW so we can stop it spreading - it comes as an E-mail with blank attachments, one of which has an extension of either .scr or .pif which corrupts the Kernel32.dll file in your Windows/System directory and calls the corrupted file Kernel32.exe  This is the one you need to remove, or it sends a copy to people on your Inbox directory - the blurb says people who have sent you unread E-mail but my experience is otherwise.   http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] will tell you more about it.  I got 6 copies at work today and there look like 3 more here at home tonight.   Wombat ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Holmes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 28 November 2001 22:46 Subject: [aus-soaring] DELETE my recent mail Hi Folks,   Hopefully this gets to you all in time. I am mailing everyone on my list.   Sadly, I was infected last night [27th Nov]  if you have recd an email with an attachment from me then delete it without opening it.   My apologies to those of you if this is too late.   Regards peterH
