Hi Johny & All


DO NOT OPEN. DO NOT OPEN. DO NOT OPEN.

Don't blame Fred for the email. It was sent out by the virus to all 
of his unread emails. The virus is the "W32.Badtrans.B@mm" virus.
This will email itself to all unread emails, but, worse of all it 
will wait until a popup box appears and then capture all of your 
keystrokes for the next 60 seconds and then every 30 seconds, sent 
your passwords to an email address.

Go to http://securityresponse.symantec.com for more info.

I have had two of these emails, one from a Phil Holiday via CVPUG
and one from Fred today.

It seems to have caught a few pepole out, but it can be wiped out if 
you have opened it.
