VIRUS WARNING
I apologize for disturbing you again so soon after the last virus
warning, but there is a general alert that W97M.Melissa.BG is
spreading very quickly. W97M.Melissa.BG is a variant of the
original melissa virus and propagates by mailing itself via
Microsoft outlook. The characteristic at present is that the file
name of the attachment is "Resume - Janet Simons" Needless to
say, you should NOT download or open such an attachment.
W97M.Melissa.BG causes heavy damage by deleting some essential
system files in an infected machine.
Although it was defined on 26 May, its rate of spread is now
ranked as "high." This would be a good time to update your virus
protection program.
