Stolen Password

[Neil Morrison]

Recently, I have been receiving messages, some from people I know, others
from people I don't.

They have attachments, which are mangled versions of files, but all have a
final extension of .scr

THIS IS VERY BAD.

I delete these. I will not open/run emails like this. I carefully decoded
one, and there are strings like .dll in it. I believe this is a dangerous
worm which is running around.

Hope this warning saves someone. BTW, my virus checker is fully updated, and
doesn't see this as a threat, but I do.

Regards,

Neil
