Virus (Worm) Warning - a real one for a change.

[R at lce_org]

I just got an e-mail with the aquarium list address spoofed which carries a
worm (virus) in the form of an executable file. The same thing happened on
the AKA killietalk list a couple of days back. Probably someone subscribed to
both lists is infected and doesn't know it, that is why this is a cross-post.

Note that the mail does *not* originate with listserv.cc.emory.edu, that
address is false. This worm uses an .exe filename picked randomly from a
list so watch for any attachments claiming to come from either list. I got the
"panther.exe" name. I got the following list of possible names  from a post to
killietalk:

baby.exe bboy.exe boss.exe casper.exe chestburst.exe cooler1.exe cooler3.exe
copier.exe cupid2.exe farter.exe fborfw.exe goal.exe goal1.exe g-zilla.exe
irngiant.exe hog.exe monica.exe panther.exe panthr.exe party.exe pirate.exe s.exe
saddam.exe theobbq.exe video.exe

Feliz Navidad y Prospero Ano 2000 to all.
