RE: JS/Kak.Worm virus was found.

Hi Joe,

I've just done a little research into this particular worm, and it doesn't
require any attachments. It only works using a problem with outlook. Take
alook at http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/kak.htm for further details,
and http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-032.asp for a
patch to stop it from happening again. I suggest you try to fix it on your
system, because apparently it will forward itself on with all emails you
send, with or without attachments.

I am confused.  I have checked for viruses and worms.  I see none and no
attachments.  When I emailed the person who posted this message I get the
following:

>User  not listed in public Name & Address Book
>MENYCNS1@xxxxxxxxxx

Is anyone seeing any attachments with my postings, and does anyone see any
viruses or worms?
Thank you,
Joe McCary
