Dear Folks,
I usually dislike getting the virus warning messages, however, since my
office computer got "bitten" yesterday with this one, let me pass on a
little additional info. [I'm sending this from my webmail account not my
Outlook email, so don't anyone worry that I've sent of a virus!]
BTW - I was running up-to-date Norton AND did a second check on the file!
Would suggest that everyone on a PC [don't know about Macs] check the
following:
Go to Control Panel, open up add/remove programs.
Select the Windows Setup tab [it may take a few seconds to open up the
window],
then select Accessories.
Scroll down to the Windows Scripting Host and make sure it is UNCHECKED!!
Also good to make sure that Office users have the updated Security patches.
I don't quite understand this - Norton web site only had the "AnnaK.."
listed as "discovered" on 2/12/01 [with the fix "pending" - oh joy!] and
McAfee said it was discovered around 8 or 9/00. Could be McAfee was
referring to its look a likes - ILOVEYOU or somesuch and the "kak" virus.
When I did a "reply" to the poor fellow who sent it to me [before I was
fully realized it was a virus!], I hit the send button and all of a sudden
emails piled up in my Out box to send to EVERYONE in my address book!
Thankfully, I snagged and deleted them before they went out.

Message from PBC Peptide Info [info@pbcpeptide.com] describes email
containing virus. This has been verified by our IS folks. Our system has
been infected.
The virus is self replicating and will distribute rapidly through your
system if infected. So rapidly, irridication is difficult - hard to stay
ahead of.
If you see such an email containing the header: " Here you have, ;o) "
and an attachment do not open the attachment. Take heed.
