A new virus W95/Badtrans.B@mm (see
http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/virusinfo/badtrb.html), appears to be spreading
fast. I
have just received a copy from I believe a reflector subscriber. Point to note
is
that it was only detected last Saturday, and updated signature files came out on
Sunday - AFTER several of my colleagues had already
received (and spread) copies. It looks like a losing battle against these virus
people.
Also this virus will run even if you open the mail or preview it in the preview
pane - see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp for a patch for
IE5.
Take care.
