> There is a new Virus in the wild that is
non destructive but causes
> annoyances.  It is the PE_BUGFIX.A virus.
It normally arrives in an email
> with an attachment called "BUGFIX.EXE".
It will infect files in the
> Windows directory and display a DOS window
with the text "Adrenalin".  The
> message box is displayed each time an
infected file is executed. Another
> payload attempts to email an infected
attachment to users in the Microsoft
> Outlook address book and users on IRC.
>
> As with any attachment that you receive via
email, make sure you verify,
> with who it came from, that they intended
to send it to you, before you
 attempt to execute it.
