Anti Virus

[Doug Cronkhite]

Something you guys need to understand about this virus.. and maybe it's
already been covered here.

Basically what it does is spam out phony messages attempting to propagate
the virus using addresses it finds in the infected host's address book. So
Tony doesn't have a virus, just someone who has Radio South's email address
in their address book does. So it sends out a message masquerading as Tony
in hopes someone else will open it, thereby infecting another user.

One should note.. this only happens in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
Express. If you use any other email program, this particular virus does
nothing to you.
