This comes from an extremely reliable source:
>A new email virus (really a worm) has been released into the wild- the "Life
>Stages" worm. It shows up with an attachment called LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS,
>though you may not see the SHS extension, and the worm will probably start
>mutating soon so don't count on the filename being the same.
>
>Please use the same procedures you've been using so far- don't open any
>attachments without knowing what they are, even if they are from someone you
>know. Make sure OIT has helped you keep your antivirus software up to date,
>but don't count on the software to save you- keep up the good work by
>thinking before you click on attachments!
>
>The COE has been spared a lot of virus catastrophes, and I'm convinced it's
>because y'all are getting more cautious with your email! Congratulations to
>everyone! Your reward- continued vigilance! :-)

>Keep up the good work! Contact the helpdesk if we can assist you in
>updating your virus software, or eradicate any viruses that may have slipped
>in.
