This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment OT: Everyone beware there is a new really bad bug out there. I got it = last night and it took quite a while to get rid of it. Yuck! It is called the "Sasser" worm, also known as "lasss". It is a mutated = form of some other past viruses but this version is very sneaky. Forget = about not opening attachments, that's not how this one spreads. It = resides inside networks, typically dial-up but can be in others. = According to Norton it apparently it hides in vulnerable networks that = haven't been patched for it. It enters when you log on. Last night I = logged onto the university system, (they give me a free dial-up = account). Within seconds a box popped up saying: DOWNLOAD: 1423lasss.e.exe. My computer started acting funny immediately. I had updated Norton = Anti-Virus just the day before. I updated it again and it immediately = found it. The definition log said that it was only discovered by Norton = on may 8th. The bug replicates itself in a hurry. By the time I ran = Norton a second time it had already created over 250 duplicates on my = computer!!! This is a new computer and I just loaded Windows XP on it = about 3 days ago! If you are using XP I suggest you update and run your virus software = ASAP. One way you can check to see if you have it right now, (although = it can still hide in other ways), is to hit your Ctrl+Alt+Delete and = check the "processes running" box. Look for lasss, (may have a number = in front), or something to the effect of Download.exe (may also have a = number in front of it). NOTE: There is a program process that is suppose to be there and may be = running called lasse, that's not it. This one will have three S's. If = you have it clean it off immediately, Norton says it will eventually = make your computer shut down and you won't be able to restart it!!!
