    Hi,

    The message from Graham Radcliff is not the only one. In the last 2 days I
    have received 4 mails with the same virus from different sources.

    I also received one from: Greg Blakely, but when checking the headers of
    that message it was uploaded not by greg, but somewhere by a dial-in account
    in the netherlands. So it is spoofing the "sender" too. That mail looked
    like a "GW-List" mail.

    The Virus reported is "W32.Bugbear@mm virus", which is very active the last
    couple of days, and a "catagory 4" (out of 5) threat. (It is also known as
    Tanatos)
    More info on :

    http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/wspcumlf@relay.tunkki.fi

    There are reports that the virus tries to steal creditcard / payment
    information from your computer.

    (Systems Not Affected: Macintosh, Unix, Linux ;o)

    Regards,
    Cees - PA3AES
