Ladies and Gentlemen, Although virus discussion is not permitted on this list <g>, Laura and I felt that this was something that needed to be addressed. There is a virus running rampant, and due to the different levels of computer savvy people on the list, we felt that we needed to let you know a couple of key points. This virus is quite ugly. It can affect users of Windows operating systems. This virus is a variant of the SOBIG virus, and can have various subjects such as "Your details", "re: Your application"; "re: Details", "re: Thank You!" and others. It will always come with an attachment, usually with a .pif or .scr extension. These files carry script that is very dangerous for your computer. You might get messages from "System Admin" or other ISP administrators that will alert you that your email did not get delivered to the recipient because it contained a virus. It will look as if you sent someone an email containing a virus. Do not be alarmed, this is characteristic. But, do not open the attachment that comes with it. Therefore: 1. Do not open any attachments that you do not recognize the sender name, or that you are not expecting. Once, I even had someone email me and say "I received a file from you with an attachment. Did you send this to me?" Then I responded "No, do not open that file!" 2. Keep your virus program up-to-date and run it often. As mentioned above, this should not be discussed via the list, however, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write Laura or I (lbozzay@earthlink.net or muesic@msn.com). Have a great afternoon! Laura and Michelle
