Re: HaHaHa virus?

I have in the past received messages from this source with an attachment 
that Norton Antivirus reports to be a virus (i.e. Symantec NAV). I have 
also received similar messages that have an html attachment. My guess, 
although I haven't examined them closely, is that those html messages 
contain a script, which could also propagate a virus. In my own case, I 
have seen such messages posted to killietalk, but they don't make it 
because they are filtered out. They come to me for "approval" but of course 
don't receive it. To the best of my knowledge a hahaha message has never 
got through on killietalk.

I have also received such messages privately. I assume that someone who has 
my address and the killietalk address in their address book is infected 
with this virus and is inadvertently sending it out. If you get a message 
from hahaha I would not even open the message. If it contains a script, you 
would be infected. Trash the messages without opening, and by the way, I 
understand that Outlook has a preview pane that should also be turned off.
