[PHSW] New virus: Beagle A

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

There's a new virus going around. Please remember not to click on any 
file that has the extension: exe. I noticed that some test messages have 
come through with exe files in them today.

If you do, you are likely going to get infected with the new Beagle 
virus. Apparently it resides in your Windows System directory. Get help 
from your IT person but as we all know, prevention is the best course of 
action to take.

Exercise safe computing: Don't click on EXE files even from trusted 
sources.
