Re: Vs: [HCDX] Fwd: WGTG TESTING!

["Horacio A. Nigro" <hanigro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Certainly, its a VBS virus affecting OE 5.0 Users. named Kak or something. I
can view the infected message text, but as I use Eudora 1.52 -simple text-
with the purpose of not being affected by these viruses, it's inoffensive to me.

The text is first in simple text. Then follows the HTML code for that text
and at the end of it it's the SCRIPT which puts things like :
Driver Memory Error...get folder... goes to registry... visits
Autoexec.bat...GetFolder identities...signatures,etc. and  found also this
line of text: alert('Kagou-Anti-Kro$oft says not today !')

Boys! That's a virus!. 

73 and go cautious!

Horacio,

anywhere (if I search them right.) I also set my computer on 1st of July and
started it again without anything happen (hopfully anyway!!) So, please
inform me more of this thing.
