** VIRUS ALERT - W32/Fbound.c@MM **

------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Barbara,

McAfee.com has seen a large and growing number of computers

infected with W32/Fbound.c (AT) MM (DOT) This MEDIUM-ON-WATCH RISK

virus is a pure mass-mailing worm. It does not carry any

other, damaging, payload. The virus sends itself to all users

found in the Windows Address book using SMTP. It arrives in

an email message containing the following information:

Subject: " Important " or a Japanese subject

Body: [empty]

Attachment: patch.exe

When run, it immediately e-mails itself to all entries in the

Windows address book. It does not install itself in any way.

It contains the text " I-Worm.Japanize " .

As always, McAfee.com recommends that you keep your anti-virus

software up-to-date for the best protection.

McAfee.com will continue to update you on the latest details

of the W32/Fbound.c@MM virus, http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3021 "
