Hello everyone,

The message below is a result of someones machine beeing infected with the
so called BugBear A virus. Do not be alarmed, the message sent to you was
disinfected in the RISØ mail system before beeing resent to you.

The adress of the machine sending the infected message is

193.249.42.236 -> mix-grenoble-105-3-236.abo.wanadoo.fr

I have recieved also another infected message from the same host.

The machine in question may be owned by an ILL employee, since

1) Belonging to the Grenoble part of the wanadoo network
2) Having ILL / neutron related content in the sent mails

Would someone at ILL please circulate this information?


Regards,

Peter Willendrup
