Virus Alert! Beware AnnaKourknikova!



I just received a message with the subject "Here you have, ;o) ."  The body 
of the message said "Hi: Check This!"  It had a .vbs file attached.  Since 
I received this twice (from the same party) at different email addresses, I 
suspected that it was a virus.  I called the sender, who confirmed infection.

Anyone who receives a message like this (part of the attachment name is 
AnnaKournikova), please delete message and attachment without opening.  I 
don't know what it does, but it obviously spreads through Microsoft Outlook.

I recommend that all Internet users get anti-virus software.  Additionally, 
you can avoid spreading viruses that you may contract by ditching Microsoft 
Outlook and going to another email client.  A very good one is Eudora, 
available in several permutations (free, ad-supported, and paid) at 
http://www.eudora.com/.  If you use Eudora, I recommend changing the name 
of your attachments folder for extra anti-virus protection.
