I am constantly getting emails with that W32.BADTRANS.B@mm worm, I got one
today from Sue Howard. Can this list be shut down until folks get their
computers cleaned? This is where I got the 7 I had from yesterday until
this AM. I have gotten 3 since 8 AM--Helen

Don't use Outlook, but rather Netscape. My ZoneAlarm firewall
caught and renamed the worm/trojan ... but then locked my Inbox!
My Kaspersky Anti-Virus informed me of the bug, but as of last
nite, had no "fix" available. After downloading the NOD32
anti-virus program, I was able to clean out the virus with no
problem. No more worries.
