This mrning I have been receiving emails from one of the list subscribers....the email address is: johnew@trib.com (Linda Woodward). Her computer appears to be infected with the latest virus that is going around. If you get anything from that address that has an attachment, delete it immediately and then delete it from your recycle bin. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Since I correspond with Linda, I assumed she was responding to one of the posts...I did not pay attention to the last line of the email (a single line after returning to me the first third or so of my post). The last line was..."take a look at the attachment" as if she was sending me information in response to the posting. This "take a look at the attachment" may appear in any email you get from anyone. The virus is running rampant at the moment. The best thing to do is to immediately update your McAfee or Norton Anti Virus program and do so on a daily basis to avoid any new viruses. Anyway, I have advised Linda separately of the problem. It's not her fault. Hopefully she will get it resolved shortly. Just be cautious in the meantime and get those viruses program updated! Martha

Hi Martha...and LIST: I received two of the same type virus "Attachment" files..... Before I realized what they were, I tried to open one... It would not open, and warning said it was a corrupted file... Then I saw your warning, and deleted the two of them. It was as you said,..."take a look at attachment" How do these things happen?!?!?!? That is too bad, and can be hard to get rid of... Hope I did not infect myself! NANCY .... ^--^ .....
