Worm warning, for real Don't open Hi attachments



A new worm has surfaced.  McAfee just posted the dat file a few
hours ago.  A description is at this web address:

http://www.mcafee-at-home.com/naicommon/aboutnai/press/releases/pr_template.asp?PR=/PressMedia/12042001-I.asp&Sel=1151

The subject is:  Hi

and the message claims that someone is sending you a screen saver.
It also says they are in a "harry" [sic].  The attachement is:
gone.scr

The worm is called goner and among other things, it trys to delete
your anti-virus software.

Look out, be careful out there.

Peace,
