Virus Warning from Michael Leete

 Hello Gassers,
 
To warn you I have recieved viruses in e-mails from Pete (Allen Trial) Hart and John (Falcon Motor Club) Prestage.
 
Follow this link to find out the details of the virus
 
 
The virus is called W32.badtrans Neither Pete or John will know they have the virus, their computer is sending out the mails automatically. So if they have your name in their address book you are vunerable.
 
You can tell the mails have the virus because they contain an attachment with two suffix's eg "XXXXXX.mp3.scr"
 
Also if you look at the return address it is prefaced with an underscore eg   _Peter etc etc
 
I am trying to contact both Pete and John by phone to tell them.
 
Michael

  1. Badtrans Virus came again - from Johnathan Laver - in a file called "README.MP3.scr" Size was 40K. Main think is not to open it! Fortunately it came to Hotmail so all was OK.   Michael
