Just to clarify, the message is NOT a hoax. You can
verify this by checking Network Associates' Web Site
at
http://www.nai.com/
Right on the front page is a banner that warns about
"W32/Kriz" and indicates that it is "Medium Risk".
Click on the banner and you will get more information.
I apologize if I scared or misled anyone. I never
intended on starting a virus disussion thread on the
listserv (which is *way* off-topic). As Ellen (list
admin) is out-of-town this week (so we have been
told), as the poster of the original message, I am
going to ask the list to please refrain from posting
further messages regarding this virus (actual
warning). If you have any further comments, please
direct them to me at:
cashman@yahoo.com
Constructive criticism and comments are always
welcome. Flames will be cheerfully ignored! ;-)
