This is a simple "trust the mail reader to click on the script to run
it" type of virus. Why someone would run, in this case, a VBS file
without looking at it first is a little strange to me. I think that a
MAC has scripting languages also and, if the user ran the script,
would be just as messed up. I am not putting MAC's down in any way. It
is the user that is getting him/herself into trouble.
Users need to be more careful on what they get from the NET and what
they do with them. Many companies have policies about running stuff
from e-mail. Guess that a lot of people will actually read the
procedure now, <G>
