Hi, I am the list administrator and run McAfee Activeshield constantly. I have received the HAHAHA once and deleted it without opening the attachment. I don't have your email or anyone else's on the list in my address book, which the virus uses to email itself. I have also scanned my computer 2 days ago with the updated McAfee virus program and no virus found. Maybe someone on the list has the virus.
