Avery, I received it as an attachment. My virus protection is up to date. W32. Nimda. is a brand new virus that until the 18th. no listing of this virus was mentioned. This virus can also be received via Explorer. See note below. What I am talking about is etiquette. Or do you agree that its OK to put marijuana in cakes because you like it and its also OK not to tell people who try the cakes what it has in it. ? Tony. Telstra is alerting you to be wary of a fast-spreading worm. All Internet users, including BigPond members, may experience delays when surfing affected Web sites due to increased Internet traffic. Telstra emphasises that the worm has not originated in its network. Nor is Telstra responsible for the spreading of this worm on any of its telecommunications networks. The worm, called W32.Nimda, appears as a blank message with an attachment called 'readme.exe' or 'admin.dll'. Nimda spreads through email and searches for shared network drives, seeking unpatched or vulnerable Microsoft Web servers (IIS or Internet Information Services), overloading them with Internet traffic. The worm harvests email addresses from address books and sends itself to all addresses as an attachment called readme.exe or admin.dll. Please delete any emails you receive with the readme.exe or admin.dll attachments and update your virus definitions to ensure that your system is protected. You can guard against infection by upgrading to Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 2, or, version 5.5 Service Pack 2 at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Network controls implemented by Telstra today have already prevented several thousand attempts to spread the worm. Once it has infected users' PCs, the Nimda worm exposes local hard drives to the Local Area Network (LAN). All Internet users, including Telstra BigPond members, can see the alert at http://telstra.com/ServiceStatus When viewing the service status page, please refresh your page to ensure you have the latest information. The worm does not affect Netscape Navigator users. It is not yet confirmed whether MAC operating systems are vulnerable to this worm. For more information, please visit our Virus FAQ's at http://www.bigpond.com/Home/Support/Help/FAQ/Viruses.asp Telstra BigPond endeavours to notify you as regularly as possible with current security issues that may affect Telstra BigPond members. ----- Original Message ----- From: Avery Todd <avery@ev1.net> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2001 5:07 AM Subject: Re: Restringing GM Yamahas > Tony, > > I've had no problems with Bill's posts.
