Greetings:
I apologize in advance for the duplicates of this message that some
of you will get.
Subscribers are reminded that virus alerts are strictly OFF TOPIC for
this list. The sole exception is if *YOU* are *CONFIRMED* to be
infected you may send a short message to the list warning of that.
If a subscriber informs the list of a *CONFIRMED* infection, then from
that point on all correspondence should be PRIVATE, that is, should be
sent to the infected address or to the list admin (me).
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should a reply concerning a virus warning be
sent to the list. Period.
All subscribers are strongly urged to keep their anti-virus
protection, both the program version and the data files, as up to date
as possible. Any of the major vendors will do fine if kept current.
My Norton Anti-virus from Symantec **IS** detecting and cleaning the
SirCam virus currently making the rounds, for example. I would expect
that a current copy of McAfee, or
www.grisoft.com, are working as well,
but I don't use either myself.
Please direct further correspondence to me (or, as mentioned, the
infected address -- but that subscriber is probably busy enough).
Darrell
