The most prevalent at the moment and causing all the recent troubles are the
W32.Badtrans.B@mm and the W32.Aliz virus . The Badtrans and the Aliz are
wreaking havoc because of the way they work. If you even preview the
messages containing the virii , you are already infected , and therefore ,
unable to stop them grabbing incoming e-mail addresses and subject lines ,
hence they will appear relevant to your interests!!
However , they do give themselves away by adding another " Re:" at the
beginning and the sender will have an _ before their e-mail address .Do
please visit one of the information sites , and read the descriptions of how
they work . This current outbreak would have been easily preventable , if
people kept their Virus checkers upto date and those who don't have a virus
checking program installed would do well to get themselves one POST
HASTE....
It is a waste of time trying to reply back to the sender because they
may well have problems of their own trying to remove the virus!!!

P.S. I am very sorry for those who have been infected , but if you value
your research , you should protect your investment of time , energy and
money!!

Lecture over :)

Yours Brian Warburton.
