RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] virus warning

the 'readme' virus has affectevily taken out our local network... it seems
to be spreading through microsoft network shares and IIS Web Directory
Traversal Exploit... which appears to be something to do with internet
explorer. so far, only one system on our site is down by it, but our
internet access is down till further notice, and many many computers on the
other end of the WAN are down... it's not really a virus, it's a worm... it
does very little real damage to the machine, besides tying up resourses and
bogging down email.. what is very dangerous about it is that is comprimises
security!!!! (wow... quad exclamation points... serious here) anyhow,
everyone might update there virus software and search there hard drives for
the following:
mep*

now if you have a bunch of:
mep3405.tmp.exe
or anything like that:
mepXXXX.tmp.exe
or a file called load.exe of which you cannot delete
email me here at dlantz@..., ive got the cure printed out

I could not find any virus information at either of these two sites.
If you are going to post this kind of information, please include
a more specific URL. I could spend 2 hours looking through these sites
to find what you are referring to.
