Re: NIMDA - to be feared !



Worse thing about NIMDA is that it can attach itself and OPEN ITSELF
and spread without any help !  All Otsego county government (New York State)
computers were infected this past week. over night Wednesday.

SEE:

query&NS-collection=2001%20News%20Archives&NS-docs-found=1&NS-doc-number=1

That will take you to the news article in The Daily Star (Oneonta, NY)

situation.
