For anyone following the malware "opener" script, you can get a recently
updated technical report [Oct. 26] on the Symantec site. It describes in
detail what this script does and it's level of risk.
[Don't panic over this, it's just for your general knowledge. You are
probably very unlikely to come in contact with it.]

Of course, Symantec calls it a virus, but it is in their best interest to do
so.
The macosxhints site contains a good discussion as well as giving directions
to a "closer" script that may effectively detect and remove the "opener"
script.

Also, if you missed it, reference Eric's excellent e-mail of Oct 26, 3:33
p.m. for a good discussion of the significance of this script.
Tha tha tha that's all folks!
