W32.NewApt.Worm virus information from Delanet.com

[Pat Ford]

I think we got hit be shotgun type blitzing. Over the weekend I didn't get 
any emails that would have been big enough ( I think the symantic site  
said that the attachment was over 64K. I checked in my trash and there wasn't
anything that big. 

 BTW I can't run exe's from email so this virus couldn't have gone stealth on
this end
