I just received a reply from an email I sent to the list which contained a new virus.  The
files that the virus deploy are hkk32.exe and inetd.exe.

The virus is automatically spread.  Following is a summary of it from the Panda Software
website virus alert.
www.pandasoftware.com  Look for the Virus Alert column on the far right for the entry labeled:

EVERYONE NEEDS ACTIVE VIRUS PROTECTION!!!
