I don't know if this is the place to post this, but I thought I would get the message to the most people. My wife just sent me an e-mail that General Dynamics in New Jersey ,USA was hit by a e-mail virus called panther. If you are using Mcafee virus scan Please download the new version now the version released in december dose not stop the panther virus. The new version as of monday will. Hope this helps . skee
NOTE: No trees were killed in the sending of this message, but a
large
number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

The actual name for this virus is: W32.NewApt.Worm it is a new email 'worm' virus similar to Melissa Virus. 'Panther.exe' is one of the common executable names that the virus is packaged in. There is much more news available on the Symantec website below: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/worm.newapt.html co(V)(V)union
