Subject: Virus Alert
> There is a new mass-mailing virus that will attempt to destroy a
> recipient's hard disk by reformatting the disk. It also mails itself
> to all users listed in the recipient's email address book.
>
> The email that carries the Gigger virus has the following attributes:
> Subject: Outlook Express Update
> Message: MSNSofware Co.
> Attachment: Mmsn_offline.htm
>
> The district email gateway will quarantine the offending attachment,
> and the current versions of both Norton Antivirus and Command
> Antivirus will detect and disinfect this virus.
>
> However, home users, anyone not running antivirus software, and anyone
> accessing non-District email should be very careful not to open a
> message with these attributes. Simply delete the message without
> opening it. If you do open the message, do not reboot your machine. If
> you reboot, the virus will reformat your hard disk, causing loss of
> all your data. If infected please contact your Antivirus vendor. You
> will need to make changes before restarting your machine to prevent
> the virus from formatting your C: drive.

> Thanks,
> Judy
