Re: RE:VIRUS ALERT!: W95.Hybris.worm

They are coming in attached to two separate e-mails. E-mails
suposedly from Microknetics anouncing a new type of windows software.
NAV has caught it every time fortunately. Since they deal with the
subject of this forum I posted it here for any one that may have
visited the Microknetics site or may receive e-mail relating to it so
they could be warned if they have their name on their mailing list or
receive these e-mails from another source. I can't verify who the
source was. I'm clean as far as my computer goes. NAV did its job.
