This virus is for real, I've received several messages from different
locations with the same subject "Check this" and the same content
(VBS.Freelink Virus). Since it seems to spread rapidly (RV, Rapid Virus?),
it means that this sh*t can happen to any of us, so let's keep our
shields up my friends.
And to Martti Huolila: Thanx for taking care of the 'official' warning.
Yours truly

Subject: SERIOUS VIRUS WARNING **** SORRY
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1999 06:08:29 -0500
Dear Friends:
Last night I unwittingly got a virus in an email from a respected vendor.
The file said something like "Have fun with these links" Because of who it
was from, I looked, but that started things off that weren't covered in my
virus detection. Within minutes, I was getting bounced mail notices from
the more diligent of my contacts with automatic, up to date detection.
Sorry if you are infected.
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\RUNDLL.VBS
was infected with the VBS.Freelink virus.
I think that file can be deleted without harm or affecting your system. It
just seems to use Outlook to spread itself painfully quickly.
If you have such a problem, I again apologize. Anyone who knows me knows
passing sites along isn't my style.
Please update your virus definitions without your email on so you don't
spread it more. If you need help, please let me know.
Yours very truly,
Todd J. Schuett
