[at-l] Possible Virus?

[jbkramer@afn.org (Bryan Kramer)]

Yes good AV software will detect the virus in mail before you see it,
Norton and others will pop up a message box warning you that a message
is infected and ask you what you want to do with it. I always delete it,
it's the safest thing to do and I refuse to open unexpected attachments
anyway. These worms/virus read the victims address book and send mail to
all or some of the addresses in the book. The victim will know nothing
about it and it's probably not intentional.
