Subject:Re: [Fwd: InterScan NT Alert] - Is a virus
From:John Branstrom

I got that virus about a year ago.  If you open the file its a fireworks
display and a virus that sends itself out as an attached file to your email
without your knowing it.
It is pretty benign but clogs up email.  If you've seen the fireworks, you
have the virus.  To check send yourself an email if there's a file attached
you have the virus.  I'll look back through my records to see if I still have
the web address for removal instructions.  I didn't have an Anti-virus
program at the time so I don't know if they work on this one or not.  The
main problem is the virus spreads quite rapidly because it usually comes with
email from someone you trust.  I now send reply email to ask if someone sent
an attached file with any email I receive.  I also inform of attachments in
the body of email.
