Re: [cobalt-users] virus on list

You can also check out SARC for information on the worm and how to remove
it.

This worm is only a threat if you are running Windows and Outlook Express.
The security hole that this worm exploits exists ONLY in Outlook Express.
There
is a security patch that has been out for some time that plugs this hole.
If you are
running Eudora, Netscape, or any other mail client you are not infected.  If
you are running a non-M$ operating system you are not infected.  Anyone with
Outlook
Express should clean their machine before sending ANY additional messages
to this list.  Otherwise you could be potentially continuing the infections.

The only harmful thing this virus does is to reboot windows at 5:00pm on the
first
of every month. Nothing else.
