All, Even as we speak the virus team at Xerox is gearing up and for this big bad virus. +++++++++++++++++++++++++
ACTION IS REQUIRED: Do not open any .EXE files received in mail messages. Virus Alert! A high-risk virus, called W32/Magistr @ MM, has been reported. It is a combination of a virus and email worm that infects executable files (.EXE) on Windows machines. The virus will send itself to email addresses stored in any Windows address book. The messages sent by the virus contain varying subject headings, body, text and attachments. The body of the message is derived from the contents on the client's computer. The virus may send more than one attachment and may include non-executables along with the infectious .EXE file. If you must send .EXE files through the email, you must ZIP the files first.
