This virus uses mail from someone's inbox to send itself out. It uses the
subject line and parts of the message and so it will look like a reply to
the list. Nasty worm/virus...


Just another soggy Seattle Sysop.

Subject: FIRST TIME TRY AT SPOOFING A MAIL LIST (For Me) BAD TRANS VIRUS

This is the first ,for me, receiving a Virus that tried to spoof a mailing
list. Anyone else experienced this? Zone Alarm and Norton AV caught it.
Zone Alarm changes the attached file's extension to "zlo".

I think many,Newbie or "unaware" list members would have opened the
attachment.. This message (mine) quoted *was a message* that I had sent to
SOUTHERN-CHAT-L. Note the "Date-warning" header message.

Comments ?

Cheers,

Cliff
