I just thought this was something some of you may want learn. If you are curious about this virus, check this out:

Review my previous post which is copied below, check the file names on the downloads. Then go to: www.symantec.com 
and clicking on the big red circle in the upper left of the page. As you scroll down you will find a list of file attachments and the two in my e-mail will be there.

Guy Van de Poel & A. Kalus did not even know they have sent out these messages. The worm got in and did its thing without them even knowing.

Thanks to Steve Goldstein for putting me on to this.

I will e-mail Guy Van de Poel & A. Kalus a week or so from now and he will have no idea that this happened. Unless he reads this on this list! I also owe them an apology!
