I would appreciate it if people would avoid using this listserver to distribute
virus discussions and/or warnings. I'm getting dozens of warnings already from
various sources. You should each be getting virus warnings from your IT people,
not a scientific forum. It's considered inappropriate to mass-mail virus warnings,
since so many of them are hoaxes anyway (granted this one is not, but that doesn't
change the premise).
To check hoaxes (i.e. chain mail) see the CIAC web site (http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/)
To learn about real viruses, either follow links from the CIAC web site (above)
or go to Symantec (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/) or Dr. Solomon's
(http://www.drsolomon.com).
Further virus discussions are appropriate on news:comp.virus or similar.
Thanks for your consideration.
