Re: NEC-LIST: great shit, info to see hehe ;-) - more info

Correction to my earlier message. A more careful reading of the virus
web site I referenced indicates that the worm can be contracted by
simply viewing the message, without clicking on the attachment, if
you're using certain versions of Internet Explorer. The virus web site
has a link to a Microsoft security alert which has more information. I
encourage anyone who has even viewed either of these messages and who is
using Internet Explorer to carefully read the information on the virus
web site and the Microsoft bulletin.

Caution: These and messages appear to have been sent by a virus
(technically, a "worm"). Anyone who opened the attachment is likely to
have become infected. See

Both the messages I received seem to have come from IP address
160.124.60.74, which lists to Olivetti Systems & Networks Africa in
Johannesburg. If anyone knows an NEC-List subscriber who might be using
this service, please notify him that his machine may be sending out
these infested messages.
