Re: [major alert] new virus active.

[Peter Hodge]

While I don't know about anything called Wobbler, there is an e-mail virus
doing the rounds called Worm.Explore that is a damn sight nastier than
Melissa as it can delete the contents of Word, Excel and PowerPoint files,
so its definitely worth keeping your eyes open at the moment.
