Dear Rogers Customer

You may receive an Email message with an infected attachment. This virus

this virus can potentially make copies of itself and send itself (without your
knowledge) to everyone in your Email address book.

The infected attachment called ‘www. myparty. yahoo. com’ may appear to be an
innocent link to a Yahoo Website. However, in reality, it is an executable file
that will infect your computer if you double-click it.

IF YOU RECEIVE THIS EMAIL MESSAGE, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. DELETE THE EMAIL
IMMEDIATELY. FOLLOWING ARE DETAILS ON THE EMAIL MESSAGE CONTAINING THE VIRUS:
------------------------

Hello!

My party... It was absolutely amazing!
I have attached my
web page with new photos!
If you can please make color prints of my photos. Thanks!

DETAILS:
- The message will appear to come from someone you know (Or from someone who has
  you listed in their address book)
- The virus will not infect your computer unless you have opened the attachment.

STEPS ON CLEANING THE W32/Myparty.a@MM VIRUS

NOTE: Even if you own a v
irus scanning software package, it is very important
that you download the latest virus definition file so that your software can
clean this new virus.

2. Run your virus scanning software which will detect the W32/Myparty.a@MM and
   offer to clean it from your system. Select the option that cleans it from your
   system.
