Apparently, this is a really brutal worm. You may have noticed that Internet
access is _very_ slow today. This is why.
Make sure "active scripting" is disabled on your Web browser. Your tech
support folks should be able to help.

Scary Hybrid Internet Worm Loose
By Michelle Delio

A new e-mail worm that appears to be a retooled combination of several
other successful worms -- and which an Internet security firm says was first
released almost to the exact minute of the one-week anniversary of the World
Trade Center attacks -- is spreading rapidly across the Internet.
This worm, named W32/Nimda.A-mm, is dangerously different than virtually all
e-mail borne viruses: It can infect a computer when a user simply clicks on
the subject line in an attempt to open the innocent-looking e-mail, or
visits a Web page housed on an infected server.
The e-mails arrive from addresses both known and unknown to the recipient.
No action beyond opening the e-mail is required; therefore, the virus is
spreading rapidly.
