Dean - here is a link with info about the virus

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011205/ts/tech_worm_dc.html

Since yesterday I've received it 37 times! Luckily it's pretty obvious wording and makes one suspicious right away about opening the attachment.

We got it thru email and one dumb executive who's outside of our firewalls. Hey Mongo, have you
successfully cleaned it?

Just as a tip (since, I spent the whole night last night in this office dealing with this thing) try this on a PC that you think you already cleaned. Go to the registry editor in Win95/98 (Start, Run, "regedit", Enter). Look for the "Gone.scr" in this following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If you see it there, your PC is still infected. Once that PC is re-booted, that file gets initialized again and cause more problems. You should delete it if you see it.
