According to a report in the local newspaper, the virus has shut down
several e-mail servers in large corporations. One recipient received 500
msg a day.

It is reported that the virus propogates itself as an attached Word macro
with the file name list.doc which is 40k in size. When this is opened using
Word program, it starts its devastating task. The advise, according to the
newsreport is: Just don't open the document. Just delete it if you find it.
