Subj: [kl] Warning - A Klarinet member is accidentally sending a virus.
Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 05:59:26 -0400

It seems as if a member has a virus on her machine - mharris@-----.com -
that will be sent to people posting on Klarinet in the last day or so.

DO NOT OPEN THE MAIL from Miriam Williams unless you have an active
anti-virus program! It contains a virus called W32.Badtrans.13312@-----.

>From the SARC:

"Due to an increase in the number of submissions, W32.Badtrans.13312=mm has
been upgraded to a Category 4 threat. It is a MAPI worm that replies to all
unread mails in your email message folders, and drops a backdoor Trojan. "

See
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312@-----.html if you
do accidentally open it.

This kind of thing can happen to anyone if they drop their guard just for a
moment ...
