There is (once again) a new virus. If you get an e-mail that when you click on it, it tells you to save a file to disk right away. Don''t open it. This virus is deadly. It destroys any Virus Scan programs you have. Than it slowly distroys your hard disk.

Is it the virus that opens the mediaplayer?? Collegeaus here at work are receiving them too!

Tip:

If you have an address book add an contact with the name _0000 in the list. Some worms crash on that mailaddress and if not get at least a notice that a mail has been sent to _0000 wich means a dumb worm! We had a worm that crashed on that mail address(Lucky for us, otherwise all our customers recieved this virus and it are about 250 customers, hehehehe)
