Snowhite is a virus: Do not open it

The email sent to the ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org list with the subject

 Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The REAL story!

contains the W95/Hybris.PI.003 virus in its dwarf4you.exe attachment.
If opened, it will attack Windows systems. Some Windows systems may
open this email automatically and execute this executable automatically,
triggering the virus. If you may be infected, your computer (and perhaps
those of your associates and friends) needs to be decontaminated.

Fortunately for our client, who is on your mailing list, his network is
protected by our Linux-based Enterprise Adaptive Firewall, Virus Filter,
Spam Filter, and 24x7 monitoring.

We notify those on this list as a courtesy.

Should I be amused by the fact that we got three identical emails from a
spam filter company? :wink:
