Subject: Re: WARNING Dude,
The person sending the virus likely has no idea he
(or she) is sending it. The virus infects your winsock32.dll file, so anyone who
sends mail using a win32 client (like me for example) is vulnerable. The virus
is sent automatically. They don't see it. Chill out, and warn people you are
getting it and ask them to scan their systems for the virus. The latest versions
of Mcafee and/or Norton Anti-Virus will find and kill the virus.

Thank you Dan for your kind reaction, I was somehow overheated because of the 8 attempts of Snowhite on my data-system. I`m fully armed now with the latest anti-virus software. Kaspersky Lab has information over "snowhite" and issued a warning over this highly dangerous Hybris worm. (http://www.kaspersky.com) So what do you see in your mailbox
wenn it comes; A message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (has nothing to do
with sex, doesn`t even exist) but it starts with "Today, Snowhite was turning
18." all the rest you can imagine. The Dwarfs had a *huge* surprise.
Snowhite was anxious etc etc. The real danger has the attachment! So I was
really pissed off. Reply to sender is useless (of course) but... if you go to,
for example Yahoo USA, and you type [EMAIL PROTECTED] then you will see
how many warnings there already are, like Be Careful guys - www.ezboard.com about Snowhite attacks or
Columbia Law School Virus Information. Well this was serious shit and I thought
it came from the nearfield. (The source is probably in
Latin-America).
