Note that this isn't truly a worm, it's just an executable-infecting
virus. The propagation is from receiving an infected attachment from
someone who doesn't realize they are infected.

  In 1998 more than three times as many people in the US were killed

  President of the A.M.A. is adopting "gun safety" as his platform.
