VIRUS WARNING! (A real one for a change)

[amphicar770@yahoo.com]

I have deleted the infected message from the archives.

Do note that while Yahoogroups will often trap out infected files
that some may sneak through on ocassion. The list is not moderated
which means I do not personally check and approve each message before
it goes out to the list. Should anyone's anti-virus software ever
spew out a warning, please share with the group as Bill has done.

It is unlikely that anyone would ever post an .exe or .com file to
the list so should you see one be very wary. (This applies to all of
your e-mail, if you do not know the source of an attachment do not
open it). Likewise, if you are not using a regularly updated anti-
virus program you are not practicing safe computing.
