Re: Ken Stephenson's Email

Tom,

I saw an email from Ken and I got his email and the following two emails,
one from Administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and another from System Attendant
<CUMULUS-SA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.   I hope you have Virus Scan Software
on your PC and updated DAT files.  Even though the list servers say the
virus attachment was stripped I found it still embedded email when I run the
Message Properties and Message Source options.  I don't know if this is an
option on Netscape since I use Outllook Express.  McAfee on my PC also
caught the virus in Ken's email.

Ken should scan for Viruses on his system.  I have been getting viruses from
various people subscribed to this list.  I hope the system sends them
messages so they know they need to clean their systems, so we can get rid of
passing this viruses around.

This virus installs a trojan horse and will log all your keystrokes, so I
would guess it can capture passwords as you type them in.  More info at
