New Virus

I received a very suspicious email from someone I
did not recognize asking me to look at pictures from a party. Instead of checking with my University gurus I opened it only to learn that it is a new virus, most likely originating in Russia. Apparently it is non-destructive but does cause a mass-mailing to everyone in the
address book or files with DBX extension.
Although one type only replicates if the date was between 1/20/02 and
1/24/02 there are reports of a new B variant that extends the date to
1/29/02

Watch for it.

Following is part of the McAfee description of the virus.
