I received this from Mike Rothery (who's probably doent know having sent it...).
With two attachements, one .scr and second one .txt.
This is MOST PROBABLY a virus; should be the worm called: W32.Badtrans.B@mm

I received a Virus from a Toey person with the reference "Steel Panthers Fans", no text and with a .txt file attached (sorry didn't take a note of the name). My Norton could isolate the problem but not repair the file.

If someone knows this Toey please alert him/her.

Apparently this virus(es) is(are) spreading in our community.
