virus on the loose

Hey folks, just wanted to warn everyone to be careful of
a new virus that's out there.

It's a type called a 'worm', and it's called Explore.exe
(but of course its name can be changed).
It can destroy data on your hard drive.

If you send an email to an infected computer, the virus
sends back an immediate reply, which looks like a real reply
from the recipient, and includes a zip file called 'Explore'
as an attachment. DO NOT OPEN THIS! Delete the reply,
then empty your 'Deleted Files' folder to get it off your
system.

There's full information about it at
www.msn.com
