I think McAffee does too, but I don't suppose I'm right...

    I think I just got two emails from this list today with viruses in
    them.  I'm on a mac, so they don't affect me, but I am noticing that
    this list distributes far more viruses than any other list I am on.
    This can mushroom, since the worm type viruses that have been sent
    out seem to self replicate through people's email lists.  Perhaps
    people could be especially careful about checking for viruses several
    times a day for a while until things settle down.  Especially before
    re-booting (one of the times these things take off), before dialing
    up (if you dial up to the internet), and before checking and sending
    mail.  Also, you might consider using Eudora email software.  It is
    free and every bit as powerful as Qutlook Express.  It is not a
    Microsoft product so it doesn't have the same virus "windows" that
    people have ferreted out in  Outlook Express.  Even better, get a
    mac.  System X.1 is quit impressive.

  T'is indeed the season for weird bugs. Never had so many. From the LISTSERVE and elsewhere. I second the motion on Eudora (anything but MS), and would also suggest the latest version of Norton Anti Virus. Amongst other things, it scans your mail AS IT GOES OUT for bugs.
