I have been reading with interest everyone's comments about the various files they have received that contain a virus. I couldn't help but think how lucky I have been considering the number of files I receive for the tombstone projects. Then out of the blue, I receive an e-mail message with the subject line of: Neb Civil War Vets from the e-mail address of [email protected] Attached to the message was a file called: Neb Civil War vet.doc.pif. Norton's Antivirus 2000 allowed me to receive the file, but also told me the file was infected and that I should quarantine it, which of course I did. I have also sent the file along to Symantec so they can add it to their collection.......Just thought you should know......Floyd

I use AOL most of the time, I have all attachments blocked there and for this address I have any file with an attachment automatically deleted. you can't send me an attachment w/o my permission, then it goes to a different, secret, address where I do accept attachments, Sandy in Florida for fast response use [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Floyd Smith III" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 8:29 PM Subject: [NEBRRoots] Virus Infected Files > I have been reading with interest everyone's comments about the various > files they have received that contain a virus.
