RE: MI OBS Virus on Mapinfo-L (explore/zipped_files.exe)

I must be one of the lucky ones in the fact that our network saw the virus
and deleted the files before it passed the message over to my computer.

Hi

In response to a posting on mapinfo-l, i recived a reply with an attached
file. The text was:

I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP.
Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs.
The name of the zip'ed file was
zipped_files.exe
This file contains a very nasty worm, which deletes files on your computer
and spreads via e-mail (by answering incoming e-mails). I have expected a
ziped file and thought my antivirus software would have stopped it.
Our anti virus software did'nt catch it and i has destroyed several files on
on network (it's also deleting files on at networkshare if it's mapped)
There is a description and instructions on dection/removal on
