This from Moosoft

There is a very nasty new email worm spreading rapidly. This Mimail variant arrives as both a zip and a plain screen saver. As always, do not open these! Delete them immediately.

Some of the emails have text like this:
The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.

or

The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary
attachment.


You should update The Cleaner definitions via MooLive or at

It is also being called: MiMail.R, Mydoom, Shimg, and Novarg but they are all the same.

Hi Billybob, you are forever in my debt. After reading your post I d/l'd the Moosoft and Adaware updates and also ran Norton's LiveUpdate and d/l'd new (Jan. 26) virus def's.

THEN I ran OE e-mail and lo and behold TWO e-mails downloaded with the virus attached. Thankfully Norton picked both up and Quarantined.

Thanks again!!!!
