    1. [NCJOHNST] Badtran Virus all over this list - see warning
    2. Ray Horton
    3. I just receive an e-mail from Laura Wheat's computer with the Badtran virus attached. Everyone that has placed mail on the list since she has been online will probably also get it. Notice, I said "from her computer" since she obviously didn't send it purposely. DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS. If you receive an attachment - do not left click - it is ok to right click to see its name - here are the names Badtran is using, according to the Norton/Symantec website: Pics.ZIP.scr images.pif README.TXT.pif New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr news_doc.scr hamster.ZIP.scr YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif searchURL.scr SETUP.pif Card.pif Me_nude.AVI.pif Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif s3msong.MP3.pif docs.scr Humor.TXT.pif fun.pif The virus randomly picks one of these names for the attachment when it sends it out. If you receive such a mesage, just delete it. If you left click the attachment, then you'll have the virus and have to go through procedures to get rid of it.
