E-mail Word attachment called list.doc contains
virus/worm that sends copies of itself around Net
By Bob Sullivan

March 26 If you receive an e-mail with the subject line Important message
from ... , be suspicious. If that message comes with a Word document
attached called list.doc, you ve likely been sent the Word/Melissa macro
virus. And if you open the document, it will send 50 copies of itself to
several e-mail addresses it gleans from your personal e-mail. That gives it
the ability to propagate very quickly much quicker than the happy99.exe
worm, according to virus experts.
The document itself contains a list of 73 pornographic Web sites, along
with usernames and passwords for those sites. The virus may have been
unleashed on the world today it contains the text Password List for March
26, 1999.

thanks
A list member has inadvertently sent a virus to three of the lists I am
subscribed to. It is not a particularly malicious virus, just annoying as
it tends to attach it to all your outgoing mail.
If you receive this virus/worm:
Don't panic...just delete the attachment unopened, and you will be fine..
step 2: change the settings on your winsock32.dll or winsock16.dll in your
program manager to read only. this can be accessed through right clicking
and selecting properties under the pop up. This prevents this virus from
changing the winsock to where it replicates itself with your mail.
BEST POLICY:
NEVER OPEN UNSOLICITED ATTACHMENTS
Disable any feature in your e-mail program that automatically does...
