There was a new worm, W32NewApt that hit the Model Engineer list tonight, so
I would like to warn everyone to be extra careful for the next few weeks.

The above URL lists many of the current virus alerts, I would hate to see
anyone lose anything on there computers.

AOL users should keep a backup copy of there AOL organize file outside of
AOL. I use my desktop, and keep a folder there. This is all your favorite
places etc. I have been there done that when it comes to losing that file,
makes a grown man cry.
There are currently 369 members on the list.
And I want to wish a HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERY ONE.

This worm when it is in a computer, looks for received files and makes a list
of received e-mails from your computer, and makes a mailing list for it to
operate from, and sends itself under one of several different names, bboy.exe
is just one of many names it can send under, it is quite insidious in its
operation.
I will be gone for a week so hope everyone will be very cautious about
opening anything they are not sure about.
