Poss. virus

[Jesse A Clendenning]

Actually the virus he has is old. Gone.scr is the goner virus, any virus
detection software should take car of it. The newer virus is the Klez worm
and its varients. Yes it is being passed around the list quite a bit. To
protect yourself from the new virus just update your computer with the
critical updates available from www.windowsupdate.com. The Klez virus takes
advantage of security holes in IE and Outlook versions that were patched
last year. Then run a virus scan with up to date definitions.

Sorry no audi content, just some protection and security for the list.
