Hello all,

Below is a message I received from a friend who owns her own technical
support business. I also received the mentioned virus, but seldom open files
with attachments unless I recognize the address of the sender.

Regards...
scott

Subject: Another Virus Alert


If you get an email entitled �Hahaha� and the body of the message says �Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs � The Real Story�, the attachment contains a
virus and will corrupt your data.  You will have to reload your Windows
software.  As long as you don�t �open� the attachment, you can just delete
it from your email & it won�t cause any problems.  One of my clients has
already been hit by this virus & I got it emailed to me, also.  Remember, if
you don�t know who it came from, DON�T OPEN IT.  And even if you get an
attachment from someone you know, make sure your virus software is
up-to-date just in case they unknowingly sent you an infected file.

Thanks Scott,
I received this email on December 18th.  I placed a filter on and they tried to
send it one more time that I know of, maybe more.
Eudora isolated the virus which is called.  eapaooea.e/x/e  ( I am afraid to
type it out, as I don't know how it will react)
I have tried to submit it to Norton but they already have it in their files and
so would not accept it.
Now I know I can delete it safely from quarantine.
Thanks,
Lynne
