That message is NOT from the Software Release Team. Do NOT open the attachment as it is the new W32/Minda.a@mm (aka W32.Nimda.A@mm) virus that has been going around this morning. The machine sending out the forged e-mail, which is not in any way affiliated with the Software Release Team, has been removed from the network. The virus is spreading through both IIS and Outlook Express vulnerabilities. If you use either of these tools, you should be sure to apply all available security patches regularly. If your machine has become infected by this virus, please disconnect it from the network to prevent any further spread. NAI and other organizations are working on disinfection instructions. When the instructions are available they should be available at the following urls: http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99209 http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.nimda.a@mm.html Jon ______________________________________ Jonathan M.
