[at-l] Viral question...wierd emails

[orangebug74@yahoo.com (Orange Bug)]

Yahoo claims to have antiviral filters built in, but advises you to
check all attachments before downloading, as well as run a current
antiviral program on your own computer. So far, these HTML based worms
have not seemed to do anything bad to my computers when viewed via
Explorer or Netscape browsers, and Eudora and antiviral programs on my
business computer appears to catch the downloads quickly. 

What I suspect is going on is non-worms/virus programs that are setting
up backdoors for hackers to send email bombs and such in the future. I
wonder if we are viewing the next assault wave in the terrorist's wars
against western civilization.

This is at least as trail related as Maine land prices and GM plants in
Mexico.
