WILD Level Worm/Virus Warning... GET your Anti-VirusesSoftwareUpdated NOW!

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

MAC and UNIX systems aren't immune to attacks... I just recently received 
this on one of our Linux boxes...

   YOU HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE UNIX VIRUS
   This virus works on the honor system:
   If you're running a variant of Unix or Linux, please forward this
   message to everyone you know and delete a bunch of your files at
   random.
