This info was sent to me by a friend and I found the virus on my computer. Please check yours and follow the directions. I used PGP Wipe to delete it from mine.

I found the virus in my files so it may have been sent to all of you. Please
follow the instructions and delete it before it can cause any damage.

I have actually had 5 virus sent via email in the last week. All have been quaranteened. The virus is an html based email with java script. the script will send your internet explorer to a web page which contains the virus. There is also an attatchment on the email I assume this is the virus also incase your email program does not read html based messages.

Do not open any unsolicited atatchment!
