    2. Betty Lou Riley
    3. This is not a hoax! This is something that I think all subscribers should be aware of ! By now you may be aware of the latest virus going aroundf the world via email, but for those need to know, I am sending this warning! There is a very destructive virus going around called ExploreZip.worm. It is distributed via Email, it will look like it is from someone you know (familiar) and the message looks like this: "I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. " Under no circumstances open the ZIP file. The attached file is not a Zip file, it just looks like it. It is zipped_files.exe which will destroy files with extensions .c, .cpp, .h, .asm, .doc, .xls, or .ppt For more info on this virus see: http://www.avertlabs.com/public/datafiles/valerts/vinfo/va10185.asp It's on CNN today Betty Lou Riley In Southern OH, USA List Owner for: OHAdams-L, KYLewis-L, and McGovney-L Instructions at: <http://www.zoomnet.net/~chipmunk/SurnamesMail.html> CCA:KY Lewis Co.
