Lest Net-Tamer users think that this doesn't apply to them, consider
that although PrettyPark can't operate on DOS-only systems, a Net-Tamer
user could unwittingly pass the trojan along to others by _forwarding_
e-mail with the attachment. Similarly, if you've received an e-mail
with this attachment, you need to notify the sender that he/she is
very likely infected with the PrettyPark trojan. Check out the news
story that John supplied and follow any link to any reputable anti-virus
vendor site.
I speak from the experience of having received the Happy99 trojan from a
cousin of mine over a year ago. Since Happy99 was/is a Win32 trojan, I
was not infected by it, but I did notify her that her system was
infected and she was able to get Happy99 removed.
