[ATM] ATM: New Virus

["David Harbour" <scarab2@cox.net>]

Ladies, Gentlemen;

Please be vigilant about your email (spam). There is a new virus which comes
as an attached file, and it does not have to be opened before it tries to
launch itself. I am not sure if it is in Norton's database or not; but if
you select the email for deletion, it will immediately attempt to launch
Windows Media Player. Do the dance on the close and cancel buttons for every
dialogue box that pops up, and when you select for delete, have your finger
poisoned over the delete button and delete immediately you select (do not
mouse around and select "delet" from the contextual menu; hold your finger
over the delete button and press it the same instant you select the
message). In fact, there is no reason to even give it an opportunity to
launch itself at all. Just use the button routine to delete any spam that
comes with an attachment, quickly, so that it doesn't have time, after being
selected, to launch anything.

Select "all" in your deleted items folder the same way- have your finger
over the delete button and press it immediately, so that the new virus will
not try to launch media player (do not let it have time to)-

Davey
