OT Virus

[Sarah Fox]

Hi all,

Yikes!  This one's pretty nasty.  It mass-mails people's sensitive info
(e.g. passwords, financial data, etc.) all over the Internet!  It also
records keystrokes and sends them to the author, and it allows the author
access to your computer to do as he wishes with it.  EEeeeegh!  Here's the
full description.

For those of you with Norton Antivirus, the definition was apparently
released June 5.  If you click on NAV's status, you can see the dates of
your last definition download.  If it was after the 5th, you are protected.
If NAV has done a system scan since your last definitions download, that
means you're probably fine.  (My system checks OK, FAIW -- but one of our
friends has a *serious* security problem and needs to change a lot of
passwords and account info pronto!)

Peace,
Sarah
