1. Virus alert: W32Badtrans.13312@xx
Due to an increase in the number of submissions, the Symantec
AntiVirus Research Center (SARC) has upgraded W32.Badtrans.13312@xx
to a Category 4 threat. Virus definitions dated April 11, 2001 or
later will protect your system from W32.Badtrans.13312@xxx Please run
LiveUpdate to obtain the latest virus definitions.
W32Badtrans.13312@xx is a MAPI worm that spreads by replying to all
unread messages in your email message folders. The worm includes a
Trojan horse program that is designed to steal information from the
infected computer.
When W32Badtrans.13312@xx is executed, it copies the following two
files into the Windows program folder (C:\Windows on Windows 9x and
C:\Winnt on Windows NT/2000):
--Hkk32.exe
--Inetd.exe
To ensure that the viral code runs each time the system is restarted,
W32Badtrans.13312@xx modifies the Win.ini file (Windows 9x systems)
and the system registry (Windows 9x and WindowsNT/2000 systems).
For complete information and removal instructions, see the SARC Web
site at:

>To all,
>
>This evening my outlook express was attacked by a nasty virus. Don't open
>any attachment from me. These things very rarely get past my ISP. Even
>though Norton identified it as the W98.Levi.3205 virus, it would not fix
>it. It only quarantined it and that did not prevent the virus from going
>out to everyone in my address book.
>
>If anyone can offer suggestions for a fix, it would be much appreciated.
>I've worked for three hours trying to eliminate it (with Norton help and
>through normal fix channels). I totally mystified and apologize for this
>action. It was not proactive.
