Additional Warning

[Koontz John E]

A lot of people are getting letters purportedly from me (off the list)
containing virus attachments.  This is further virus traffic.  Typical
examples say "Your details" and refer to an attachment, but this virus
(sobig) has a lot of variant messages, mostly pretty plausible sounding.
I assume that myy address was harvested from the same infected system that
harvested the list address and the addresses of the individuals who are
receiving mail from me or other list members with the virus attachment.
Delete the letter, and delete the attachment file, if you mailer keeps
them separately.  Make sure your virus protection software is up to date.

There is a description of sobig and a pointer to a fix at the Symantec
Norton Anti-Virus site:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f@mm.html

Note that you should always check links in letter like this to make sure
that they are pointing to the site they appear to be pointing at.  And
that that site is the correctly spelled name of a site that you might want
to go to.

Note that one of the more popular forms of SPAM these days is offers to
sell NAV cheaply (not coming from Symantec), and that one of the variants
of sobig claims to be a messa from NAV reporting that you sent a
virus-infected letter (details in attachment), which has been rejected.
Never open the attachments on these things ...
