Virus alert: Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs

Dear Friends,

again, a RP-ML mailing contains a virus - however, a pretty
obvious case this time. The attached exe-file contains the
W32/Hybris.gen worm, rated "medium risk" by McAfee.

The McAfee Virus Information Library contains detailed
information on how this virus can be identified, what it
does, how it works and how it can be removed in case someone
exectued the file at:

http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98873&

Still, RP-ML is a good source for RP-stuff, and I hope it
will stay alive and kicking for a while (and perhaps one day
something can be done against those viruses, worms and stuff
).
