Dear List Members We are experiencing another outbreak of the BADTRANS worm, computer virus. I've received over 25 messages with it myself this weekend. The subject line will be varied but the infected attachments have a double extension, for example .doc.pif or .doc.scr You can go to http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/ or http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ to obtain more information. Please keep your anti virus software updated and DO NOT download unexpected attachments no matter who they are from or how tantalizing the subject line may be. "The Docs I Promised" just may be the virus. I apologize for breaking my own rule regarding Virus Warnings, but felt in this case it was important that you were aware. Kathleen Burnett List Mom
Thanks very much for the warning. I just installed a firewall program, and your message confirms the dangers that exist. If a Website on Kentucky Cemeteries gets Virus programs sent to it, than clearly nothing on the Internet is safe. The problem is not political activity or protest, it's just being mean beyond any reason. Again, -------- Thanks.
