    Subject:  WARNING: New Virus
    


    Hello,

    Please beware of a new virus that is "out in the wild".

    This virus, called the AdminSpamToYou, installs itself in your Network
    Administrator's brain.  Once installed there, it continually sends out
    spam.  The spam has been seen with the following characteristic subject
    lines:

      "WARNING: New Virus"
      "Just a Reminder"
      "Virus Alert"

    The body contains the same information that would be available by going
    to any anti-virus website.  Some infected admins cut and paste the entire
    anti-virus webpage into the email body, and forward it to everyone on the
    company mailing list, causing heavy traffic on the email server.

    Early signs of infection can be seen as the admin runs around to every
    cubicle in the organization and attempts to install anti-virus software
    on all users' computers.

    Later signs of infection are repeated email warnings about opening
    attachments, since the anti-spam software installed in the early stages
    of the infection do nothing to stop the stupid users who just open
    attachments willy-nilly. In acute cases, the infected admin sends out
    warnings in ALL CAPS, admonishing users to "NOT OPEN ANY FUCKING
    ATTACHMENTS, GODDAMNIT!"  At this stage, the procedure indicated is for
    the infected admin to take a very large Chill Pill.
