THIS LOOKS SERIOUS.

Try not to open attachments.  Check with friends first.  (The virus steals
up to 50 listings from your address books and sends out e-mails using your
name.   Ask them to  send you open texts.

Melissa Gets Meaner ...

MELISSA GETTING MORE DESTRUCTIVE
New, more destructive variants are changing the rules in the Melissa virus
we told you about yesterday.  Confirming security experts' fears, the macro
virus is mutating into more devious and potentially destructive variants.
For instance, a variant with a blank subject line has emerged and there's an
Excel variant that seems to affect several messaging programs, not just
Microsoft Outlook. But according to the experts, the best fix still holds
true: Don't open a macro in an email attachment.
