This is the wrong forum to post messages like this. Please, no one post virus or worm warnings on XML-Dev (there are dedicated mailing lists and Web sites for this kind of warning). b. It's true, this is a real MS Outlook worm (not a virus, but close enough), but many of these warnings are bogus. > You might like to forward this email to your friends. No, no, no, no, NO!!! That just makes the problem worse, by clogging already-clogged mail servers (and by encouraging the more gullible to forward the next 20 phoney warnings they receive as well as this real one). If you're worried about your friends, phone them or walk across the hall and visit their cubicles in person in you're in the same office.
