Subject:      AnnaKournikova email virus expected to hit today
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Volks,


There are widespread reports that another Microsoft Outlook worm
virus is about to hit today in the U.S.  It hit in Europe yesterday.


An attachment to an email - AnnaKournikova.jpg.vrs - spreads it, but
only if you open the attachment.  So ignore the perceived chance to
look at a picture of the attractive Russian pro tennis player. Delete
the message with its attachment and you will be safe.  If you open it
and use MicroSoft Outlook as your email program, you then send it
to everyone on your email list and it goes round and round on the
Internet as long as people are opening the file.


Hope this helps someone.
