Re: virus notice

From:Bryan Llewellyn

I have been getting dozens of e-mails with this virus for the last couple of
weeks.  I use the latest Norton anti-virus and it appears to pick them up
very well.  The best protection is simple.  Never, ever open an attachment
that that you did not give permission to send.  Apply this rule to people
you know as well as those you don't.  It's hard to do sometimes, but
trashing your files is a real pain.  I learned this from reality, twice in
three weeks about 6 months ago from a different e-mail worm.  I had to
reformat my hard disk and start all over.
