Virus

Further exploration has revealed that the virus I inadvertently  sent out
was in an attachment I received from a student a week or so ago (NAPSTER).
So the job notice attachment was probably ok. Still, you don't need to open
it; use the text in the email message instead.

Someone (Bryllars at concentric.net) wrote me saying I should download
Inoculate It from the internet for free. We did this and cleaned up
considerable numbers of infections on my computer. I am now clean! I'd
advise others to get this virus program too, as Norton Anti-Virus, which I
already had, did not pick up this particular problem.

Sorry for all the mess! I could have better spent the time used on this to
make up my mid-term exam!
