Subject: Help Alert: Homepage worm strikes Outlook
May 9, 2001: Homepage worm strikes Outlook with pornography
It's all too easy to create a fast spreading virus these days.
Remember Anna? That worm was created with a worm generator kit
with very little skill or effort. Now there's Homepage, another
kit-generated worm, that can clog up your e-mail system without
really damaging your system. Homepage, at least for now, is
outpacing Anna in terms of spread. Why? Peer pressure, at its
lowest level. Instead of promising a picture of a beautiful
tennis star, Homepage leads users into believing they'll miss out
on something if they *don't* click on the attachment.
Don't fall victim to this e-mail worm. Be smart. With a little
know-how, you can stop Homepage before it wreaks e-mail havoc on
the rest of the computing world.
