Some concern has been going about in TNGenWeb about the "worm" which infects
email.

Details can be found at this safe msnbc news site

to check your computer for such a problem

Do a search on your computer (hit START button, then FIND) for
ska.exe or any files with .ska extentions,
to find this you enter in the find field *.ska.
If it don't find it, don't worry about it. You "ain't got it."

What it does is grab onto your winsock.dll file and attaches itself. Then
any mail you send out the attachment goes along with it. Thus infecting the
next person IF they execute the file.
