Virus warning distributed at Argonne.

--
"But as much as I love and respect you, I will beat you and I will kill
you, because that is what I must do. Tonight it is only you and me, fish.
It is your strength against my intelligence. It is a veritable potpourri
of metaphor, every nuance of which is fraught with meaning."
Greg Nagan from "The Old Man and the Sea" in
<The 5-MINUTE ILIAD and Other Classics>

As usual don't even think of opening an attachement unless you know the
source and have good evidence that the file is legitimate. If you are
like me you have received and deleted several of these party worms
already today (see below).

This UPX-compressed mass-mailer has a built-in SMTP engine which it uses to
send itself to all users listed in an infected user's Windows Address Book.
It arrives in an email with the subject line: "new photos from my party!"
and the attachment of "/www.myparty.yahoo.com."
