    1. [CFTW] Plea For Help! Someone Is Still Infected With A Worm!
    2. CFT-WIN List Manager
    3. I hate to belabor the point, but someone who either is, or was, a subscriber to this List is infected with the following Worm: Win32.Netsky.D@mm Whoever that person is, he/she has email sitting in his/her email program, or has addresses of users of this List in his/ her Address Book. The Netsky Worm picks out an address from one of those emails, or from the Address Book, to put in the From: header; it then picks out another address to send itself to. Whoever is infected has my address in his/ her Address Book, or has an email from me in his/her email program. He/she also has many foreign (to the US) addresses in the Address Book, or email from foreign addresses in the email program. The reason I'm certain it is someone who is, or was, subscribed to this List is that it's the only one I have ever used for which most of the subscribers are located in European countries. You may think it's no big thing, but I despair of receiving so many emails daily from some European-based ISP saying my email to so-and-so contained an infected attachment. So, will anyone who fits one of the following categories please get rid of the infection: 1) Doesn't have an Anti-Virus (AV) program; 2) Has one, but doesn't use it; 3) Has one, uses it, but doesn't have the latest virus files from the AV company; 4) Doesn't have the AV program to automatically scan the system daily, or doesn't do a manual scan daily. We've got to stop this Virus/Worm problem! The only way to do it is use an AV program properly and clean out the system of all infections. Thank you, George W.
