Dear Subscriber,

I do not want to turn my newsletter subscribers off by sending out Virus warnings...

BUT this one is TOO important NOT to WARN you!

For the last 48 hours many users have noticed strange things happening with their PC's

For example:

The computer shuts down without you asking it too...

The computer generates an "LSA service" error without warning...

The computer slows down at odd times for no reason...

If this is happening to YOU then you may be infected with the latest worm to hit the Internet!

However this worm is NOT spread by email, but by other infected PC's scanning IP addresses
over the Internet looking for un-patched PC's

Microsoft issued a security patch on the 13th April 2004, but if you have not installed it yet - YOU
MAY BE AT RISK
of infection.

For MORE information please read:

In fact this worm warning information is so important that I have registered the URL:

http://www.sasser-worm.com  - to let as many folks know about this CRITICAL problem!

(However it will take 24 hours before this URL is available to users.)

Please PASS ON this email to any friends or family that may be using Windows XP and Windows 2000

Until next time!

Kind Regards

Marc Liron MVP
