<P>I also have received an e-mail from the same source <A href="mailto:hahaha@sexyfun...">hahaha@sexyfun...</A>, but the attachment had a different name, it also contained a virus. Fortunately my system automatically scans all attachments and won't allow me to open if a virus is detected. Beware.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>The email usually says it is from hahaha@sexyfun.com
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>The attachment is dwarf4you.exe contains the virus.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>As long as you delete it without opening the attachment
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>it will go away.

<DIV></DIV>>Norton's website says this virus has been in
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>circulation since Sept 2000. When ran this worm
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>infects the winsoc and dos.exe files. It will
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>produce a spiral pattern on the screen.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>The virus is difficult to remove and usually the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>hard drive has to be formated with everything
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>reinstalled from scratch. The only good news
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>is that it doesn't destroy data files.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>When an infected computer sends out an email
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>the virus will follow up that email with one
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>of its Snowwhite emails containing the virus.

<DIV></DIV>>The same idiot majordomo program that stops you from
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>sending out lots of virus warnings because they
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>might be spam will gleefully forward this virus
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>without filtering it.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Egroups lists which hosts a lot of local SCA groups
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>has this virus circulating all over it. One can only
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>hope they will add a filter like Hotmail has.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>I am tracking down this Snowwhite virus through
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>some of the family history lists at Egroups
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>that have infected computers subscribed.
