RE: virus seems to be dangerous

It's actually W32(_dot_)Frethem(_dot_)K(_at_)mm is a worm, and is a variant of
W32(_dot_)Frethem(_dot_)B(_at_)mm(_dot_)

Check
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.frethem.k@
mm.html

I got 3 messages sent to the list ietf-mainout(_at_)loki(_dot_)ietf(_dot_)org 
from
Jonny(_at_)wicaksana(_dot_)co(_dot_)id and 5 messages from 
bin(_at_)HOME(_dot_)SE containing the
message as described in the above URL.

I picked up those messages on the other W98 notebook before shutting
it down.  When I re-started that notebook, my C: drive was empty.  It
seemed to have screwed the FAT, because the disk space shows 1GB free
out of 9GB, which is correct.  Investigating whether it is a result of
this virus.

Sending this note as a precaution.  Perhaps it might be a good idea to
clean the virus before shutting down.
