Viruses!

[Zink]

I was infected with a computer virus today. I caught it quickly and think it's off my system now. It is called Magistr.

I have e-mail adresses from several people here in my adress book. If you get anything from me don't open the attachments. It isn't using my e-mail adress but my name is listed as the sender.

I caught it from my cousin. It sent out pieces of her horticulture notes to different people including herself. It e-mailed pieces of my letters to Russia back to me and I assume to other people.

Not a major problem to fix as long as your anti-virus program is up to date.

I'd love to get my hands on the sick bastards that program viruses.

Yeah,  that relatively new one,  badtrans b. trojan worm.  Its all over the place,  so be careful w/ any attacments...even if you think you know the sender.  I know last week sellerson Ebay were getting it and unknowingly everyone on their mailing list got it...I got 4...delete.  Mcafee and Nortons updates cover it
