A new virus, WORM_PALYH.A, appeared Sunday evening. It is supposedly
from support_at_microsoft.com. It started hitting hard about 6-7 p.m.
UCLink users received over 50000 copies. We are now blocking it and
also extracting it from users inboxes. However, I am sure many copies
were downloaded by users whose PC's check for mail automatically every
few minutes.

Remind your users, never open an attachment unless you expect it!
