virus!

Just updated my virus checker and YES I was infected. If you receive
any file attachments from me or anyone else with the attachment
HAMSTER.DOC.pif it is the Win32.Badtrans.29020 worm. I don't know if
you are infected if deleted immediately and not opened. Best to check.

The attachments match the other groups warning. I guess it is the
W32.Badtrans.B@mm I'm downloading a new anti-virus program, as I
just reinstalled windows and was only running an old antivirus
program. Best to keep alert.

I have gotten some of those at work. The badtrans.b virus was
causing it. My Norton AV automatically sends a reply to those who
send my company an infected message and some of them have "bounced".

I received some strange attachments in reply to Bolgers web site. I
emailed the author and got back my message as undeliverable. As there
has been some virus on other groups I frequent I was wondering if
this could be the same one? I could not open either attachment. I
don't know why I tried.
