Sorry to have to do this, but if you get a personal mail from carolgs@techheadnet.com that seems to be a reply from this list, and there is a file attached, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE. I got a file called images.pif. This is a file infected with a Trojan or Worm, similar to a virus. Delete the file. Anti-virus software cannot clean this one. If you have opened the file, go to your anti-virus software's site to find instructs for removal. If you don't have anti-virus software you can go to one of the main sites for information such as www.mcafee.com or www.symantec.com. I don't believe the person mentioned above intended to send this. If their system is infected, the worm may be sending out these attachments automatically to names in their address book. I have notified the address above about the problem. If you have any questions, write to me at ddhamm@aol.com DeeDee

Okay. Hello. Since it was directed to me I attempted to open the file, but it didn't open. I received a "File Corrupt Message". Then I replied, and moved on to the next message, which was this one telling me NOT to open the attached file. I went back and deleted the entire email. But am I too late? Does the file actually have to open? carol peterson ----- Original Message ----- From: <Ddhamm@aol.com> To: <MNSTLOUI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 11:44 AM Subject: [MNSTLOUI] MNSTLOU list Virus warning > Sorry to have to do this, but if you get a personal mail from > carolgs@techheadnet.com that seems to be a reply from this list, and there is > a file attached, DO NOT OPEN THE FILE. > > I got a file called images.pif.
