Good Day People,
Shannon and Roger hit it on the head with this virus. This is a virus
that, as of yet, is not part of the DAT's (VirusScanNT). The DAT's for
this virus will be released "11/15/2000."
Therefore, beware and be sure to educate your friends, colleagues and users.
All thanks for the replies and your time.
Cordially,
David
