Don't run the LINKS.VBS script.
It's a virus/worm.
The virus probably sent itself to
the XSL-LIST mailing list.
It's very unlikely that Mahesh
knowingly sent the virus to the list.
Mahesh probably received the virus from
someone via email. When Mahesh ran the LINKS.VBS
script, the virus opened Mahesh's Outlook
Contacts folder, grapped a bunch of email
addresses, and sent the LINKS.VBS script
to these addresses (one of which happened
to be the XSL-LIST mailing list).
