Pretty Park worm

["Barry J. Cooper" <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

Folks,

I have just received an email from someone who has the PrettyPark worm on
their machine. It sent me the attachment, although I did not execute it, of
course (for a start I am using a Mac). It also tried to send itself to the
killietalk list. This worm works like the Happy99 worm, by mining your
email address book and sending itself to those addresses.

I suggest that everyone looks on their hard disk for Pretty Park. See
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/prettypark.worm.html
regarding removal.

The usual warning, do NOT execute .exe files that you receive as
attachments unless you know what they are and first check them for viruses.
