GEN: New virus (worm) to warn folks about (fwd)

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

Dear Colleagues,

Seems as though the viruses and worms are out in force these days. Please,
PLEASE, please be sure to have antivirus software installed on all of your
computers, AND update the DAT (new virus protection) files daily!

See the following message that I just received, and which I have verified
as a true virus threat:

Peter, my district just got hit with a new worm that sends mass emailings to
everyone in the Outlook address book and attempts to remove the Norton
anti-virus program. I thought we should let folks know. Here's the Symantec

Thanks,
