Subj: [kl] virus warning
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2000 14:34:17 -0500

Hi all,

The W32/Shoerec virus hit the SAS-L (or comp.soft-sys.sas) mailing list earlier this week (the
undernoted was "replied" to the forum). My work uses scanmail to virus check all email, but it
didn't pick up on this. They have since upgraded... (seemingly it's a new strain that's less than a
fortnight old).

One to look out for....

Ian
