Mike,



I rather send this to the list to warn others: I do not know the original

posting, but you obviously refer to a virus, which seems to be propagated by

a message about party photos. I received it via RADSAFE (three times). I did

not open the attachment, because I do not know the sender and the "pressure"

to open it, was obvious. I just heard at TV, that this "party" virus

(described as "worm") is spreading very fast over Europe. It was described

as not being very dangerous, but is expected to be distributed easily. It is

propagated via the "Windows Address Book" abnd the "Outlook Express Database

of Microsoft".



So, be careful!
