Yes, they should be notified they probably have a worm on their system, they may not even know it since the worms most often transmit mail without the sender's knowledge. I am curious. Was the mailing list on eGroups? Last year Kak was passed through to me from a mailing list on that server. Do you have any virus program in place? Norton or McAfee, with current updates? I suspect that you need to run a scan if it can be done. If you don't, see if the person who will help you has a current program with updates to scan your system. Have you tried using the Juno free access? It would get you to the internet for that free HouseCall virus scan.
