Subject: new virus alert
McAfee has issued an update concerning a new email virus - LIFE_STAGES.
This virus is sent with a possible of 12 different subject lines and
includes a LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS attachment. Unfortunately Windows 95/98
does
not show the *.SHS extension even if your system is set to show all
extensions, so the file only looks like LIFE_STAGES.TXT.
Possible subjects are:
Examples:
Subject = "Funny"
Subject = "FW: Jokes text"
Subject = "Life stages"
The recipients are "blind carbon copied" or "bcc".
WHAT TO DO: Delete any email message that contains the attachment
LIFE_STAGES.TXT.
