Goner@MM Virus

Due to the new outbreak of the W32/Goner@MM virus, we strongly advise all PC users update virus definitions immediately. Macintosh Users are not affected. This threat can infect all unprotected users of Win9x/NT/2000/M/XP. The virus will come to you as an email attachment usually titled HI with an attachment GONE.SCR. If activated this virus can delete files and folders within the Windows Directory and the operating system or parts of it will cease operating upon the next reboot.
