university and is spreading fast.  At this time, it looks like the
virus comes in an email message with the following characteristics:

If you receive such an email, do NOT open the attachment!  If you do
open the attachment, do not reboot your machine until the virus has
been cleaned.  Otherwise, it will attempt to delete programs on your
hard drive.  More details will be forthcoming from the following
