Subject: [Leica] Warning - new worm/virus making rounds
From: John Bohner <johnbohner@earthlink.net>

Sorry for the bad news people but a new virus is making the rounds.
I have gotten 3 copies in the last 18 hours.
Say hello to W32.Bugbear@mm
The virus is yet another worm running amok on WinDoze Outlook machines.
The attachment will have a double extension ending in .exe, .scr, or .pif.

For more info visit your favorite anti-virus software site or
http://www.norton.com/

Since I use an ancient version of Eudora, I don't spread it.
You may also wish to consider using a firewall such as ZoneAlarm

ZoneAlarm has stopped worms from getting OUT of my machine when I was
stupid enough to activate them by mistake.

Regards
John Bohner
