    The above worm has also just been upgraded to a 4 (out of 5) by Symantec
    (sorry Jimmy).  Have your employees update their virus definitions if
    they don't normally do it daily.  Aliz is a very simple worm but uses
    the Outlook MIME bug that allows your PC to be automatically exploited.

    If you haven't already heard:  W32.Badtrans.B@mm is a MAPI worm that
    emails
    itself out as one of several different file names. This worm also drops
    a
    backdoor trojan that logs keystrokes. It's current distribution is
    extremely
    high.  I have received over 50 e-mails with the worm.  Please secure
    your
    networks against .pif's and .scr's if you haven't already.  Apologies if
    this is a repeat.
