People,
I know I will be chastised by the list owners! I don't care!
The current badtrans virus is serous! It has the ability to read and then
transmit
you passwords for such sites as banking and the like. Be very
diligent and blow away anything that has an attachment from someone you
don't know. If you do know them send them an e-mail to confirm that they
sent you something.
If it reads your password it can send it out to ye net.
As I said, it's serious.
