    3. Good thing you zapped it, Darline. It was the W32Badtrans@MM virus that created such a mess a couple of weeks ago on the AFHA list. I'm sure you're aware of all that back-and-forth hoop-la that went on for several days <groan>. Do yourself a favor and run your virus scan just to be on the safe side. And go to your "delete" box and delete that particular email again. Then reboot your system. This will ensure that you won't be infected by this particular email - nor will anyone else. (It's a sneaky little !@#$%^&, believe me!) I've made it a practice since I was first infected around 4 years ago never, never, ever to open an attachment. If I think it may be important, I ask that the sender find an alternative method of sending it, telling them that I simply do *not* do attachments. Kathy Hudson, the AFHA list owner, has been doing everything possible to get this cunningham1234 to quit sending emails and to clean up their system. So far, apparently no luck. Guess some folks simply will not read or listen or understand or something <sigh> Kathy monitors the AFHA list very closely so she'll have gotten your warning message, by the way.
