[Willie Wheeler <ww...@andrew.cmu.edu>]

FYI, I just got this message that indicates that the virus we just
received uses mail client address books to propagate itself.

Subject: Anna Kournikova virus

Another new virus has popped up in the SCS environment.  Here are the
details:

1. The virus uses mail client address books to propagate itself, so you may
get the virus in a mail message from someone you know.
2. It is an attachment, so if you do not open it, you are not infected.
Simply delete the message.
3.  If you got it and you opened the attachment, send mail to
help@cs.cmu.edu

The subject line of the mail might contain the following verbiage:
"Here you have, ;o)"
"Here you go"
"Here is..."
"Here you go :-)"

The content of the mail might contain:
Hi!
Check this!

Followed by the virus attachment, which is AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs

*Microsoft* mail client address books.  That's the critical piece...
