The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I have received more than 20 copies of the new worm virus, about 25% of 
them in Spanish.  Luckily Norton AV finds them and quarantines them.  Prior 
to updating Norton, I used the filters method -- which does work well in 
Eudora 5.0.

As best as I can tell by looking at the mailing addresses for the copies, 
this new virus is taking a slightly different slant from its 
predecessors:  Instead of mailing copies to everyone on your email mailing 
list, it looks like the new variant views your browser's URL history, and 
sends emails to any addresses it finds on these pages.  (ex:  I have 
received several copies addressed to my webmaster account, and practically 
no one ever uses that address.  My website has the typical "if you have 
questions or comments" message at the bottom of each page, however.)

Regards,

-BW
