[at-l] Viruses are NOT coming from this list and fromhammockhanger

[kahley@ptd.net (kahley)]

The virus is NOT coming from the list.  The list address just happens to be 
included in
the address book of the person who's computer is infected.  This is also 
possible
in the case of hammockhanger who is not currently a member of AT-L.
The new round of virii and worms simply pick a names at random from Outlook
Express's address book an stick them in the headers as they spread themselves.
Until the whole world dumps OE or runs an anti virus program and updates it at
least once a week, there is not a whole lot that can be done about this.

One thing...since it seems that whoever caught and is now spreading this
latest curse is now or has been on the list, I really hope everyone here has
checked out their machines.
