Firstly
apologies.
If you received a
LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS shell scrap worm attachment in the last 24 hours - It has
been propagated out of my MS Outlook email.
The Symantec fix
(appears to be the best) is at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/fix.vbs.stages.html (download
from the fixlife.exe link). There are also instructions for manual cleaning
at the bottom of the page.
The McAfee
information is at http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98668& (it
has a very thorough explanation of what the worm does).
The Microsoft
Outlook 98 / 2000 security patch is at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/2000/downloadDetails/Out2ksec.htm (this
needs to be configured after installation).
Again
apologies.
