[at-l] PICS.DOC.scr - Win32.Badtrans.29020 worm

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

To let others know that I ran a virus check on my office computer and found 
the above worm. This is a pretty tricky little devil that does not do the 
usual attachment method of infection. It came as an embedded file in the 
message, opening as the message was previewed or read. I do not recall 
anything to let me know of the event, other than one of several messages 
received that have been either blank or bogus messages. Apparently this is 
a fairly new worm and you can get an update with your favorite antivirus 
program to detect and avoid infection, as well as recover from the infection.

It can happen to anyone.
