Another new virus!

New email worm out today. Once again, it's a Junkyard visitor who is infected. The worm disguises itself as a text document.

The worm sets the mail with text like "I don't bite, weah!" and attatches itself as a password-locked zip file. The password is a series of 5 random numbers. Opening the zip file reveals the contents to be any of a .scr, .exe, .cmd, .pif, etc.

Please, for the love of Pete and all things sacred on the 'net: DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF ITS SOURCE. Use anti-virus software and keep it updated. Don't be stupid and make our lives harder by spreading the worm of the day.
