The virus was a Javascript attachment in a message titled "Books of
Medieval Medicine" sent by Reardon. It is "invisible" in the sense that
the sender could not see it and a mail program may not display it. If
your program executes Javascript automatically it may very well have run
it invisibly (and if you are using Outlook without the Microsoft patch
you now have the virus, so be warned!); or it may show up as gibberish
code (I saw it with Netscape's viewer), or your virus checker may alert
you (mine, InoculateIT, did not).
