Thanks for the quick answer. Though, McAffee site is not too
useful unless one has IE5 and a windows box. Apparently it wants you to
download a plugin to access their site. That is as bad, if not worse, than
M$! Ironic as if I had had IE5 to view their site, I would have already
been infected by the virus. Have an anti-virus site that can only be
viewed by the easiest to infect browser, very smart!
Anyway, I found a better (i.e. in standard HTML) site about the
virus, the URL is below. TTYL.
