My wonderful, free anti-virus program, InoculateIT-PE, from Computer Associates trapped it, so no damage here, but if it hit me, it may be looking for your machine, too. It's one of those VBS (Visual Basic Scripthosting) viruses that looks in your address book and sends itself to all your friends. It also looks in your Inbox and ships itself to everyone who sends you anything. That is why I thought I should re-post this idea that I posted last time it came around AT. If you didn't pay attention, then, do so, now.
To prevent ALL VBS based viruses, including those that haven't been written yet, simply uninstall Windows Scripting Host. That is Windoze name for VBS. 95% of all Windoze users will never use it. If you ever do need it (some time in the next century), just insert your disk, and re-install it. Here's a link to how to do it for Win 95, 98, 2K and NT, including step by step screen shots.
Stay safe. Stay clean.
