There is a dangerous, new worm virus spreading around that once opened, mass mails itself through your e-mail system. The subject line is typically "Fwd:Peace BeTweeN AmeriCa and IsLaM!" and the message "Hi, iS iT A waR Against AmeriCa Or IsLaM !? Let's Vote To Live in Peace!". The attachment WTC.EXE is a worm specifically written to cause damage to your system.

If you have Norton Antivirus and your virus definitions are dated 9/24/01, your system is equipped to deny the virus. If your virus definitions are older (not sure what dates are valid for other Anti-Virus systems) please update your systems asap...
Thanks....
