******************************************************
Hi
All,
A new, very nasty melissa-type virus just hit us.
If you =
get a
message that looks like this:
"Hi!
I received your =
email and
I shall send you a reply ASAP.
Till then, please take a look at the =
attached
zipped =
docs.
bye.
<<zipped_files.exe>>"
Under no
circumstance click on the attachment. It will
Nuke all Excel and Word =
files
it can find, and redo it
every 30 minutes. This is a very nasty
one.
It nestles itself in the \WINNT\System32\ directory
and =
the
culprit is called Explore.exe
Also, you need to get rid of a key =
in the
registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\
CurrentV=
ersion\Windows
and delete
run= C:\WINNT\System32\explore.exe.
I'm sure =
there will be
much more said about this, but
for the moment, warn all your users, =
and do
not open
that attachment!!! Deleting the email without =
opening
that
attachment will cause no further harm
This is hammered out in a =
hurry,
and is just a heads
up. Sorry if we are not complete as yet. Time is
of
the utmost essence! Check the websites of your anti-
virus =
software
vendors for more detail.
Warm
regards,
Stu
