[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET,

Here is some information about the reported virus that has been affecting
some LM_MET member e-mails. It appears to be a different version of one
that circulated in December:

---------- Forwarded message ----------
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2000 08:17:59 -0800

What I had in mind is discussed at

http://www.abczone.com/common/newsdet.asp

Specifically, this portion of the citation and following:

Virus
12/21/99  VIRUS W32/NewApt.worm
Virus Information
Name: W32/NewApt.worm
Discovery Date: 12/14/99
Type: WORM
Risk Assessment: HIGH

------------------------

So, to find out the full story on this suspected "worm", go to the website
mentioned above, and then go down the page to where that virus is
discussed, and take action recommended, or go to the links that they
supply for anti-virus sites.

Good luck!
