We were hit with the virus yesterday. Our mail server failed to catch the
virus. We immediately shut it down to remove infected messages.
Unfortunately, a few infected emails slipped through. We have taken steps
to prevent this from happening again.
If you believe you are infected, you can find instructions on how to remove
the virus here:

Symantec, makers of Norton AntiVirus, suggests that a virus checker be
installed on all machines and that ALL email attachments be scanned,
regardless of their source. Most viruses are spread by family and friends!
We sincerely apologize for any problems this may have caused.

Subject: Possible Virus
List,
I received an e-mail from Dan Hall @ dhall@xxxxxxxxx with the subject
heading "fwd: Joke".
I checked the properties in Outlook Express and found there is an attachment
named "Very Funny.vbs". I thought this strange coming from Equis so I
checked with McAfee and see it listed as a known virus.
I'm sending this to forewarn others on the list and also Equis if they don't
know yet. I didn't want to reply to Dan Hall thinking it may spread or
something.
I have one question, McAfee didn't warn me or even find it on a scan of my
computer, either my virus scanning is not working properly or "Very
Funny.vbs" in this case is not a virus. Would a more virus knowledgeable
person answer this?
Sincerely, John Rastutis
