Warning! W32.Bugbear@mm Virus

[Guest guest]

I just received an off-list email from Astrid Froese that had the

W32.Bugbear@mm virus attached to it. The email retained a subject

that was a valid (although old) native nutrition thread. The

attached file name was map.doc.pif. Keep an eye out and be careful

not to open it if you get it. The fact that the email did not have

anything to do with me suggests to me that the virus probably

automatically sends itself to people who are in the inbox or address

book...so I'd imagine everyone on the list is vulnerable...

I tried to notify Astrid first, but I got an error from her provider

that the account wasn't active...so the virus might be altering

the " from " portion of the email header too.

I received the same email from astrid. When I contacted her she knew

nothing of it. I suspect scott is right in that it just randomly

send email from her address book.
