>>>>I've heard that a couple of folk at Shaw have gotten hit (up in Dalton I think). Since we use Notes, and since the virus seems specific to propogating itself via the Outlook address book, it hasn't spread through Shaw. The Shaw address book is huge, and I haven't seen or know personally of anyone who has seen it.

>>From what I understand, the script used the first 300 entries in the Outlook address book. Maybe part of the reason I didn't get any. Since it's in alphabetical order by last name (and there are over 5,000 addresses), I'm well beyond that.

That must be fascinating. I doubt it'll spread through our company. First, most people use either Lotus Notes or a 16 bit version of ccMail (6.0 I think). I use Outlook, but even that's hooked into the ccMail post office. The other thing is that most computers are running Win95B which doesn't include the WSH. Some folks have Netscrape (no typo), some have a version of IE (either 4 or 5). Some of these will have the WSH. I think the combination of these two factors has helped keep the spread down within Shaw.
