Subject: Mac virus alert! (Simpsons Episodes)


Please DO NOT open an attachment entitled 'Simpsons Episodes' from an email
with the same name. This is a Mac specific worm and when launched, opens
Outlook Express or Entourage in the background and sends a copy of the
original message, and the script, entitled "Simpsons Episodes," to everyone
in your address book. So far it doesn't have any destructive behaviour but
it could spread out very quickly.
Entourage does warn of suspicious behaviour and allow you to cancel the send
process but Outlook Express offers no such warning. Attempting to quit
either Internet Explorer or Entourage resulted in the applications'
relaunching, and the only way we could get our system back was to cycle the
power and restart it with extensions off, since the script copies itself to
the Startup Items folder in the System Folder.
