Another virus is running around today. It comes in as an attachment to an e-mail message with the subject “Hi.” The message body begins, “How are you? When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you. I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!” If you click on the attachment named GONE.SCR, it will immediately begin sending itself out to everyone in your Outlook or Outlook Express address book. It does not appear to do any other damage. Its only interesting twist is that it also propagates over ICQ, if it’s installed on your system. Here’s Symantec’s site describing the virus, and here’s an article about its spread. Don’t click on e-mail attachments!
