The virus Mark had is not the only one going around the lists. I had the
W95MTX virus which would not let you access any antivirus information or web
pages for information or updates. After three days of misery I scann very
frequently and update everyday. This MTX virus attaches to your email and
sends a second email to everyone you sent to. The second one will say any
of the following :
I_wanna_see_you.txt.pif
Matrix_screen_saver.scr
Love_letter_for_you.txt.pif
New_playboy_screen_saver.scr
Bill_gates_piece.jpg.pif

> Hello
>
> I am sorry to say that mid yesterday I found out that my email had a
virus.My email system is now clean of the virus.However I believe this virus
was sent from this site sometime last week, most likely by someone unaware
that it is in their system;I have sent emails in recent days unaware. The
virus is called Wscript.KakWorm, it was first detected on the 27 Dec 1999
,it only effects some systems. Please check out the below site provided by
Symantec and linked to Microsoft. It is important to do so before the 1st of
the month at 5pm which is the trigger date for the virus.The Symantec site
provides all the information about the virus, including how to check,correct
and protect your computer.
