Hi Guys:

In only my second posting to the list since I have been receiving
the digest, I would like to add a note about these viruses. The bug that
attempts to conceal itself as a "doc", is the "Sir Cam" virus. Before it
was discovered, it affected many computers badly enough to require an "F
disk" and basically annihilates everything that you have saved. It
travels through "Outlook Express" and attempts to mail itself to all
addresses in the address book of the targeted computer.
Another tip; never respond to any questionable e-mails. This could
be fatal. (to your computer, that is)
Thanks for the space,

Garry Heinlein
