    We received an e-mail from Methodist.edu this AM that contained a Worm virus. This type of worm hits the address book of Microsoft Outlook and e-mails itself to everyone in the address book.

    If you have received an E-mail from this site, please don't open the attachment, since that will cause the virus to attack you own computer. It may have originated in the baseball office, probably upon the receipt of an infected e-mail by them.

    It's not a new virus. If you run Norton Internet Security, it will catch it and clean it on the way in.

    I have left a message at the college for them to check their computers.

    someone told me a few years ago about a similar worm...(klez) i went to my address book and made an entry of [email protected] it is suppose to stop the worm from sending any information from your pc using your address book... i guess it still works....

    You can also just have an ebtry in your address bok with simply the letter A as the first name in your book, without an address. That sometimes stops worms too.

    Also if you do not eat dirt you won't get worms either....LOL

    Have a good one!!!!!!!!!
