The virus is dead

[kkoncelik@xxxx]

Hi
if anyone has received an e-mail from me in the last day or so you need to 
check your computer for the trojan virus (what version I do not know) both 
Mcafee and Norton (latest updates) will catch it. It took me a while but I 
did find the virus and it was new enough that I needed the 5/15 update of 
Norton to kill it. I do run antivirus on my system so I thought I was 
protected. Mcafee also needed an update to catch it.

This virus only attaches to AOL users. If you have something else you may be 
a carrier but the virus will not do anything in your computer. It will wait 
til you send to an AOL member then attach itself to that file.

I have been down all day.

I talked to both AOL and Norton. The strain of virus constantly mutates and 
it steels the password and some of your old mails then creates a message and 
off it goes.
AOL is trying to trace where the password was sent to. 

what I saw was mime file dated 5/16
mi27 file dated 5/16
mi57file dated 5/16
and mi27.jpg file dated 5/16
and a wonderful message about pictures I sent to myself 
(same note you got)
It also atached to my uninstall.exe file which is why it took me so long to 
get rid if it.
I had to manually delete it since the antivirus software wouldn't.

If you are an AOL subscriber you know you have it if when you sign on and 
enter your password and it then asks you to reenter the password but when you 
type it in the little *** do not show up. That is its signature. Plus it 
will lock up if you try to do anything.

I WILL NOT be sending any pictures for at least a week just as a precaution 
and I will never send an exe or a mime file period. Please let me know if 
you get anything from me Thursday or Friday because I WILL NOT send anything 
for two days period.

Show is doing fine I am still taking late registrations

Thanks for your patience this has been an unpleasant experience for me.
hopefully not too many of you have received the e-mail

Again I did not send it.

Thanks Bruce and the DML.
