Subject: AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs virus file on listserv

I am the PC Support Technician for the statistics department, and have had to
deal with this virus all day. For more info visit http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.sst@mm.html
The virus replicates through MS Outlook address book. A fix is now available
from Symantec for Norton Antivirus.

A Manual Fix is as follows
1. Delete all copies of AnnaKournikova.jpeg.vbs
2. Your computer might generate a 0 byte file after deleting the above file, delete this also.
3. In the registry you need to delete the following key:
        HKCU/Software/OnTheFly
