Hi Guy's,Just thought this warning might be appropriate give recent events with the Badtrans Virus.The Aliz Worm is not new, but has risen from the ashes to fight once more. The worm currently only replicates on Win9X machines. It doesn't seem to propagate on NT platform. This little #### does not need to be opened to be activated, only previewed !So anyone using MS Outlook or Outlook Express, please disable the preview pane in your e-mail program.People who have updated their virus definitions in the last two days should be covered, but for those who have not or who don't have anti virus software, if you are not sure - DELETE IT WITHOUT QUESTION !Maybe until all this dies down a little, it might be an idea:That if you want to send an attachment to someone, e-mail them first and tell them. Maybe even tell them the name of the attachment so they know exactly what to expect ?It is said that this Virus does not always show up as an attachment in the e-mail, so be careful guy's.For further information click the link:Best Wishes,Michael (MOB)
