[ELF NOTE:  Our thanks to Markus for this message; I hope he doesnt
mind, but I'm adding an 'elf note' here.  Normally we'd ask that
virus warnings not be posted on this list, but this one is
particularly nasty, and I was just about to write an Admin warning
about it, myself.  More comments from me below Markus' message.]

Original post:

Anyone who gets the "New Graphic Site" message, PLEASE DO NOPT OPEN it!!!

It is a virus/worm...DELETE IT!

It replicates itself by sending to everyone in your address book.

It seems to be fairly new, some most antivirus scanners probably
don't have a means of catching...yet.

If you do have it, update your antivirus and scan immediately.

At this time, I don't know what else it does...if anything.

Sorry for the cross post...but this thing seems to be going around
the HP groups pretty fast. It has been spotted in other groups, so
it isn't an HP group only thing...

Kelley Elf again here:
As Markus says, this virus is different to others that are only
launched when you try to open their attachment; this one opens when
you open the message itself.  So, if you see any messages in your
inbox entitled "New Graphics Site" delete them without opening them.

If you suspect you're already infected, please keep checking for
updates and removal tools for your anti-virus program.

Please everyone, do not reply to this message; if you want to discuss
the virus, please do so on OTC or Feedback:

Thanks again, Markus.
