McAfee.com has seen an OUTBREAK of computers infected with W32/Goner@MM,
also known as Pentagone, Goner or Gone. This is a NEW, HIGH RISK virus that
spreads via Microsoft Outlook email and ICQ instant messaging programs.
This mass-mailing worm will arrive from someone you know with the following
email message:

Subject: Hi

Body:
How are you ?
When I saw this screen saver, I immediately thought about you
I am in a harry, I promise you will love it!

Attachment: GONE.SCR

Goner has a DESTRUCTIVE PAYLOAD. When the attachment is opened, it will
look for a variety of anti-virus, firewall and other security programs and
attempt to delete them, along with ALL FILES in the same directory. This
worm will also place a trojan, REMOTE32.INI, on the system, which contains
instructions to attempt Denial-of-Service attacks on other IRC users.
