NEW VIRUS

The newest virus threat has a canine name: W32.Beagle.A@mm, even though it's a worm. It will insert files into your system, access remote Web sites, and send e-mail to any contact it finds. You can recognize this worm by the subject line, "Hi," and the message text, "Test =)." It will also contain a randomly-named attachment of 15,872 bytes.

If you are ever uncertain of the contents of an email, never launch or open the attachments.
