virus/worm

[ROOD DAVID S]

We are indeed sending messages with the "sobig" worm from here, but we
can't help it: the problem is at the level of the university server, not
individual computers.  I'm told that Microsoft has sent us a team to help
get rid of it.  Meanwhile, we can only apologize -- we're getting the
annoying things too -- and tell you to delete the stuff and avoid opening
attachments.  I don't know the whole story, but Symantec says it's
scheduled to de-activate itself on Sept. 10.
