Hi all.  I hope I'm not committing a faux pas or doing anything 
illegal or bad in any way, but I'm reposting this for anyone who 
doesn't keep up with TOL and may not know about this.  I have gotten 
several of these in my inbox and was fortunate enough not to have 
opened them.

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.
