Maybe we can get some better information from our friendly computer wizard in Holbrook, Dave Andrews. Dave? I got a copy of it today and here is how my anti virus program identified it. "C:\ Eudora Pro\EMBEDDED\news_doc.Doc.scr ...........is infested with the Badtrans.B_at_mm virus". This bugger is embedded in the document. You don't have to open anything to get the virus. It is coming from two sources: Email from Nick Trikilis - nickt_at_ohio.net There is no message in the subject line. And, there is no attachment...because the virus is embedded. see the ohio.net? Read on. The other source is an email from Rick Nowak - internationalmeteoritesociety_at_yahoo.com His email says "check out my website at" www.***ohio.net***/nickt/ims (i have added the asterisks so as to not create a viable URL link). See the "nickt" in the address string? My guess is it is Nick Trikilis. And both involve"ohio.net" Update your anti-virus protection and DON'T visit the web site mentioned.
