Newsgroup virus

[Oscar.Myers]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to warn everyone that My computer has picked
up a worm virus that spreads through newsgroups. It's deactivated now but
I'm not sure witch group I've gotten it from. I would recomend that anyone
In this group should run a virus scan on there computer to make sure that
they don't get it as well, for more information on this virus use the
following URL http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=10509

Oscar, do you own McAfee stock?

[[ Another dangerous aspect of this Internet worm is the ability to
continuously re-infect yourself if the preview pane is enabled and you
browse between folders specifically the "sent" folder which happens to
contain the Internet worm within a message. ]]

And if you're doing that and that happens, then *YOU*'re the person who sent
the virus out in the first place, 'right'?

Oh yea, if you're worried about newsgroup viruses, simply read the newsgroup
from a webbased newsgroup reader (like www.remarq.com).
