My info came from here: http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.html The computer Tony Salce uses has it. (hopefully had it) as I also got a badtrans mailing from him. The worm prepends a _ to the return address to prevent replies from being received. I removed the _ from the return address and emailed Tony. As yet no reply from him. Get Zone Alarm, get a good virus program and keep the virus database up to date. Otherwise it is only a matter of time before your computer is infected and the effect can be costly in your time.
