Virus/Worm alert re: new photos from my party!

From: Gerald I Isaacson <gii at MIT.EDU>

I have had several reports today about the new mass mailing virus Myparty,
which comes as an e-mail attachment, being received on campus.  It will
only infect PCs though you can receive it on a MAC, but it won't
infect your MAC system.

Information about the virus can be found at

Near the bottom of the page there is a SuperExtraDat file which is a
self-extracting file that detects the virus.  Download the file and
click on it to install it.

You can prevent any infection by deleting the file when you receive
it, without opening the attachment.
