Re: [edlug] Edinburgh Uni/NetSky.V

[Graeme Wood <Graeme.Wood@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

We believe the outbreak is largely under control and the spread of
infection has been contained. We also believe it very unlikely that any
spread will take place outside our network now.  We were probably one of
the first sites to have experienced the outbreak as none of the major
virus protection software vendors were aware of it when we contacted them.

Cheers
