A worm found on Sunday, January 18th is the most harmful worm attack on
PC’s this year. The worm, known as ‘W32.Beagle.A@mm', is a mass-mailing
worm that accesses remote Web sites and sends email to any addresses
found on there. The worm will only work until January 28, 2004 and

Windows (95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Me, & 2003 Server) users. The threat is
at a level 3 and considered wild with a high distribution. For optimal
security it is suggested that you update your anti-virus software. For
