After reading through many descriptions of this virus, I am confused on a few points that maybe someone can clear up.
First, people can get the virus by just browsing to an infected web page using IE 5 or 5.5, correct? What about IE 6 or IE 4?? Also, microsoft's site says that ie 5.01 sp1 and ie 5.5 sp1 are vulnerable, but what if the service pack is not installed? We have a network where a wide variety of ie versions are used, so basically I'm trying to figure out which machines need my attention right away.
Also, as I understand it, if you have the preview pane turned on in outlook 2000, it can automatically download the virus. Outlook 97 doesn't have a 'preview pane', but it does have an 'auto preview' that displays the first few lines of the message. Does having this on make you vulnerable?
Thanks for the help Mike Rohde
