'Seinfeld' Computer Virus Emerges

'Seinfeld' Computer Virus Emerges By RON HARRIS= Associated Press Writer= SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ A dangerous new type of e-mail virus emerged on Tuesday, able to destroy information on computers even when users are careful not to fully open the messages.

         The virus, nicafter an episode of the TV

show ``Seinfeld,'' was e-mailed late Monday to researchers at Network Associates, a computer security company in Santa Clara. The company put a free software patch capable of blocking the attack on their Web site Tuesday.

       ``This ushers in the next evolution in viruses. It breaks one

of the long-standing rules that you have to open an e-mail attachment to become infected,'' said Network Associates spokesman Sal Viveros. ``That's all changed now.''

        The Melissa computer virus clogged e-mail systems around the

world when it hit in March, but many computer users were able to avoid trouble by deleting the e-mails without reading them. Like other e-mail viruses, Melissa wreaked havoc only after users double-clicked an attachment to the seemingly benign messages.

       ``Bubbleboy'' only requires that the e-mail be previewed on

the Inbox screen of Microsoft's Outlook Express, a popular e-mail program. As soon as the e-mail is highlighted, without so much as a click of a mouse, it infects the computer.

       The virus affects computers with Windows 98 and some versions

of Windows 95 that also use Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.0 and Outlook Express Web browser and e-mail programs. It apparently does not affect Netscape's e-mail programs, Gullotto said.

       Even without Network Associates' software patch, there is an

easy fix. Enabling Microsoft's highest-security filter will block such e-mails and keep the virus from entering.

       Bill Pollak, a spokesman for the Computer Emergency Response

Team at Carnegie Mellon University, said his researchers would be looking out for the new type of virus.

       Researchers believe the virus, which appears as a black

screen with the words The Bubbleboy incident, pictures and sounds'' in white letters, was sent by the same person who created another virus in July _Freelink'' _ which forwarded e-mail with links to pornographic Web sites to stolen e-mail addresses.

       A software patch created to protect against the virus is

available for free at www.mcafee.com.
