joke virus floatin around

[perry]

I had somehow avoided all the other virii that were floating around attached to messages. Looks like I finally got one. Subject of the message is "Snow white and the seven dwarfs - The REAL story!"

Body is:
"Today, Snowhite was turning 18. The 7 Dwarfs always where very educated and
polite with Snowhite. When they go out work at mornign, they promissed a
*huge* surprise. Snowhite was anxious. Suddlently, the door open, and the Seven
Dwarfs enter..."

joke.exe is attached to the email, virus scanner reports it as Win32.Hybris.B worm. No from address on the email, and headers only show it passing through some UU.net pop, so I can't trace it back... Watch out!

A simple answer to not downloading files you don't want downloaded is using Eudora!

I let Eudora download everything, doesn't much matter to me on DSL. But before Eudora had dinged that I had new mail, the virus scanner popped up a message telling me a file was infected.
