In a note to me (see below) Mickey Baker warned of a virus he had
experienced. For detailed information about it, here is the URL for
the McAfee AntiVirus Web site.
George
Please take note. Saturday, Monday, and
again today (Weds.) I have received a virus via e-mail. Sat. and
today I
got two mailings. If any on the BBAA list have recevied a file
advising
of a Microsoft Upgrade, do not touch it. It looks very official,
even to
having registration update pages. This is virus know as
W32/Gibe.B@mm,
which is going around here in Tidewater via e-mail.
I have removed 6 lists and am down to this one and Police-L, which is
good
a filtering their mail. I got two on my down load of e-mail today.
Norton and other anti-virus programs should detect it if it is
attached to
another e-mail, but may not if it comes in as the upgrade file
This was scanned prior to being sent, but it is good to scan
everything.
