>>Virus Deleting PC Files in U.S., Germany, France
>>Beware E-Mail with Zipped Documents Attached
>>
>>from Bloomberg News
>>
>>SANTA CLARA, Calif. (June 10) -- A new computer virus that spreads
>>through an attachment to e-mail messages created using Microsoft Corp.
>>software is deleting files on personal computers in at least three
>>countries.
>>
>>The virus, which originated in Israel though hasn't yet been reported to
>>affect any PCs there, has wiped out documents on computers in the U.S.,
>>Germany and France, said an official at No. 1 anti-virus software maker
>>Network Associates Inc. The virus spreads by using information in
>>Microsoft's Outlook, Outlook Express and Exchange.
>>
>>When an infected computer receives an e-mail message, the virus creates
>>an automatic reply to the sender. The reply message has an attachment
>>that, if opened, infects the e-mail software and deletes some files and
>>damages others on the user's computer.
>>
>>``A number of large companies with names you'd recognize have seen the
>>worm and are tracking it on their systems,'' said Wes Wasson, a
>>product-marketing director with Network Associates.
>>
>>The message appears to be from a known e-mail correspondent and reads:
>>``I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then,
>>take a look at the attached zipped docs.''
>>
>>Anti-virus experts aren't sure if the virus also affects users with
>>e-mail software such as Lotus Notes, made by International Business
>>Machines Corp., or other programs.
>>
>>At least 10 U.S. companies have been infected by the virus, said an
>>official at Symantec Corp., a Network Associates rival. The company
>>declined to name those who have been infected.
>>
>>The attachment, known as a worm and not a true virus because it doesn't
>>replicate itself, is named ``zipped_files.exe.
>>
>>The virus comes after a computer virus known as Melissa, also spread by
>>e-mail, shut down some systems in late March.
