Virus sent to list this morning

[Charles 'Buzz" Blick]

This is the fifth time in the last month that this virus has been sent to
me – all by unwitting friends and business associates.  Fortunately, I did
not open any of them.  The weird use of English and the lack of a signature
were both warnings.

Last year I did try to open a better conceived virus-laden email.  My
anti-virus software warned me in time to avoid the mistake.  That virus
would have been much more damaging than this one – it would have erased my
hard drive.  This is one more example of how necessary anti-virus software
is these days.

My virus software just alerted me.  A virus was just sent to the list, with
an attachment.  Do not ever open attachments, and you will greatly
decrease your chances of getting a virus.  The files say A-3
Planungsworkshop and Absage TV.  As with most viruses, the
sender may not know about the virus, because the virus may automatically
send itself as a mail file to every person in the address book of the person
infected with the virus, without the participation or awareness of the
person who origianally had the virus.  You should delete these files if you
have not opened the attachments.  If you have opened them, www.symantec.com
<http://www.symantec.com>  has a lot of virus info and may have a way to fix
your computer if you have opened the attachment and gotten the virus.
