Sorry Bob, but this is the first time I have received one from you. I don't think you need to reformat your C drive, but there are sites that tell you how to manually remove the offending files.

Y'all should be updating your Viral Software and specifically researching 'Worm Badtrans.B'
Some have stated that this latest threat is the Badtrans.A
Far as I can tell it is not...it is the Badtrans.B and should be treated as such.
If anyone has other info, please let me know with a reply HERE! lol

It is my understanding that this is the Variant that has been in the wild since April 2001 and that there are ways to prevent infection and passing it along.

No matter if you have virus software or not, please go to this site to see just what you do have on your puter:

VirusScan and other McAfee products with DAT files 4172 and higher are protected from this variant.

W32/Badtrans@MM is a mass-mailing worm that drops a remote-access Trojan. The virus arrives via the Microsoft Outlook email program and attempts to send itself by replying to unread email messages.

The email may contain the text "Take a look to the attachment" in the message body and will contain an attachment that is 13,312 bytes in size. The attachment name is created in three sections, for example, card.doc.pif.

Hope this helps some!!!
