A new, very nasty melissa-type virus just hit us. If you get a message that looks like this: "Hi!
I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP.Till then, please take a look at the attached zipped docs. bye. <
>"
Under no circumstance click on the attachment. It will Nuke all Excel and Word files it can find, and redo it every 30 minutes. This is a very nasty one. It nestles itself in the \WINNT\System32\ directory
and the culprit is called Explore.exe
Also, you need to get rid of a key in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows and delete
run= C:\WINNT\System32\explore.exe.
Do not open that attachment!!! Deleting the email without opening that attachment will cause no further harm.
The author of the destructive WinExploreZip worm may be a disgruntled programmer putting the hit on his programming nemeses, security experts said Friday. This might be a hit on the other virus writers," said Bill Orvis, a security specialist for the Department of Energy_s Computer Incident Advisory Capability.
