A new virus called SWEN has been reported, and examples have been seen at my
daughters company computers. SWEN is already considered Medium-Risk for
home users. She was sent this warning
this morning.

The email does look real though. Probably will be opened by many
unsuspecting people.

I got three of these today, although I'm not in the least bit affected, I
know these are not real patches. Those of you out there getting these be
warned. Received three of these, all three msg headers are enclosed. The
msg test is enclosed also after the last bunch of headers. The msg has
four attachments, one being a .exe file with various names. The .exe file
is 104k in length.
