Dear SHAKSPEReans:

Although this is not supposed to happened, it appears that SHAKSPER

Honey, then delete the file immediately. If you have opened an attached
"pif" file you may be infected. Below is a tool to clean out the worm if
you are so.

Again, we know something about how the message was distributed, but not
if it is, in fact, infectious.

Sorry,
Hardy
