**VIROUS ALERT **

[Don]

Yeah, this is real. My wife works for a puter company and they had to
shut down much of their network today because it was spreading so fast.
My wife got two emails from within the company but fortunately, she
heard about it before she opened the thing. The company uses mcaffee,
and her sytem admin sent emails to all employees with instructions that
indicated that a mcaffee file called extra.dat would cure the problem.
Here is an excerp of what they got, but you cant get the file because
its on their internal server and not available to the public. Maybe you
could get it from mcaffee, I dont know.
