DML virus
some of you out there have a virus that you are spreading. It is sent directly
to other list members. From the IT folks here:
>>>>>>>>>
Caution―An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain
the following information:
From: randomly generated (spoofed)
Subject: randomly generated
Body: randomly generated―examples:
"The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as
a binary attachment. The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent
as a binary attachment." or "Mail transaction failed. Partial message is
available."
Attachment: randomly generated
The icon used by the file tries to make it appear as if the attachment is a
text file. The attachment type varies [.exe, .pif, .cmd, .scr]―often arrives in
a ZIP archive. (filesize = 22,528 bytes)
