We are started to get inundated with w32.aphex virus problems. The virus
came out yesterday and will spread very quickly since it spreads via
AIM.

The write-up is at
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.aphex@mm.html

Our network admins might consider turning off AIM if it continues to
spread so quickly.

Good luck everyone.
