Folks, Last night an email timed at 2:31 CST was sent to the Meteorite Central List. The sender's email address was <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . The name of the sender listed in the header is "Dieter". The body of the email is actually a 'forward' of an old Rob Wesel email titled "Mull Collection" which he sent to the list on Wed, 10 July 2002.
The email contained the new 'worm' known as W32.BugBear@mm. Neither of the above named individuals are responsible (directly) for this email (especially Rob) in that Dieter's computer evidently contracted the virus due to a lack of current anti-virus protection. The virus (worm) has the ability to replicate itself and send out emails to anyone listed in the address book on that individual's computer. I sincerely hope that everyone on the list had currently updated anti-virus software installed on their computers. It's obvious, of course the Dieter didn't. I highly recommend the use of Symantec Norton Anti-Virus software. It has saved me numerous episodes of having to manually remove viruses, worms, trojan horses, meteorongs, etc., from my computer system. For those who need more information concerning this particular virus (worm), please go to the following site. http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Keep your virus protection updated; it sure is cheaper and faster than repairs. Best of luck to all of you, Jerry Wallace Odessa, Texas ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
