New unknown email virus???

tk421 · April 7th, 2002, 01:32 PM

Friend of mine called me up this morning asking if I had sent him an email with attachments. I hadn't, and he proceeded to tell me the symptoms of what looks like a virus:

attachments: screen.htm and display.scr
subject: you clear key
crippled his system by running a process called "winkmh". once he stopped that process, things seem ok, but he can't access the task manager anymore.

can't find any info about this virus on trend micro's, mcafee's, or norton's sites.

I have scanned both my home and work computers, the only ones i use, and haven't come up with any viruses. both machines already had nav2002 and most current updates. i have no items in my sent items folder (outlook 2002) that match the description of the email my friend received.

any ideas?
