Dear Lowlanders,

Below please find an excerpt from a computer virus warning I received from our
technical support people.  This is not a hoax.  So, please be careful!  Please
also check at the following websites:

McAfee:

Symantec:

Have a nice and virus-free day!

Reinhard/Ron

There is a new Windows based virus out which has the following properties:

---

From: Microsoft Corporation Security Center mailto:rdquest12 at microsoft.com
To: Microsoft Customer
Subject: Internet Security Update Attachment: q216309.exe
Microsoft Customer,
this is the latest version of security update, the update which eliminates
all known security vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer and MS
Outlook/Express as well as six new vulnerabilities, and is discussed in
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-005?..

DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT and delete the message immediately.

If you do run the attachment, it will install the GIBE virus, which will
re-send the message above to everyone in your contact list.

Microsoft never sends out patches via e-mail, so please be very wary of any
message claiming to be a patch ...
