> I now have more detailed information on the Melissa Word Macro Virus. The virus is a Word macro and appears to only infect Word 97 and Word 2000. The infected document will arrive attached to a message with the subject "Important Message from " followed by the name of the person who sent it to you. If you open the message you will find a Word document. If opened the document will execute a macro that emails itself to the first 50 names in your address book. The person sending this to you is infected and did not send your the virus on purpose. You should be informed them that they have a virus. If you have opened this document your copy of Word is infected and will attach the virus to every Word document you open.

> If you have received this message please delete it immediately!!!  If you have opened one of these attachments already please stop using Word until we can provide you a fix. In either case please reply to this message if you've received the Melissa Virus email.

> This virus is spreading very fast and has already shut down many email systems. With your help we should be able to avoid this fate. If you want to know more details about this, please follow the link below.
