Does not seem anywhere else to post this, so FYI, the following might be of interest.

Saw in today's edition of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, in the Business section, an article dealing with a new computer virus. It's called GONER, and seemingly screws up e-mail operations. According to the article, those primarily effected are users of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, but users of ICQ instant messenger and Internet Relay Chat are also vulnerable.

Hope this helps someone avoid a problem.
