[PLUG] Need Virus Information

["Jim McCoy" <JIM@JIMMCCOY.COM>]

Earlier today there was a virus Windows virus warning on the list.
Since I got the same file mentioned through egroups today, and I have a
netaxs IP address, I thought maybe I somehow got infected and passed it to
this list.
But scan by Mcafee shows no viruses.  Just in case, does anyone have any
info on this virus?
Can I manually look for it in case it is one that Mcafee does not look for?
Thanks.
