A
new version of the
MYDOOM virus has
been released and it is very clever - especially since it
does not have an attachment! If
you receive an email message saying it is from
PayPal, with
the message:

"Congratulations!

TO THIS MESSAGE VIA EMAIL! This email is being sent by an

DO NOT CLICK
and DO NOT FOLLOW
THE LINK!
It is when a person
clicks through that they are sent to a server that is infected, and
the virus goes active.
