I have recently been infected by the GONER worm. Using Norton AntiVirus' latest definitions etc I have cleaned the system and have run the removal tool supplied for this infection. All now checks out OK. However on SOME (not all) outbound emails I have discovered that they are being copied surreptitiously to other people on my addressbook 9these do NOT appear in any of the "send to" fields). I can't find rhyme or reason to explain it. I have tried reloading Office 97 Outlook (98) onto my Win2000 syste, but no change. Any suggestions, please?

Goner tries to add some files to your system. Look for gone.scr in the Windows system directory. Also look in the registry for a key with the worm file name in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

We had a problem with this virus last week. Good luck. Mooo... :)
