W32/Hybris virus

One of GMAST's users is infected with the aforementioned virus; if 
you have posted to GMAST recently, you've probably gotten a 
message from "hahaha@sexyfun.net" with a "Snow White" subject 
line.  If you opened the attachment, you have the virus, otherwise 
not.  (I'd say "if you were stupid enough to open the attachment," 
but that would be insulting to the fellow from beyond.net.au who 
apparently did.)

The list itself won't distribute the virus, but it mails itself to any 
addresses it sees in incoming email, so it catches you from the 
"From" line.

Symantec's got a writeup at:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.hybris.gen.html

Please do not reply to this via the list; virus announcements are off-
topic, and I only bring this one up because it directly affects list 
users.
