-Caveat Lector-
Anyone who opens an .exe file from their email deserves every bit of
havoc it wreaks on one's computer. This is no-brainer, email 101 stuff.
Same with just about any other type of applicaton: vbs, dll, doc, html,
all those other dot-alphabet programs, etc. I've never heard of a virus
being passed via JPEG or GIF, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.
Other ways to protect yourself:
1. Use Web-based email rather than email software on your computer. You
won't be able to read your email offline, but everything is kept on
their servers, not on your hard drive.
2. Disable Windows Scripting Host. Many viruses use this program to
run.
3. Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the body type
SET CTRL NOHTML
This means all posts from CTRL will arrive in your mailbox in plain
text.
4. Yahoogroups: If you subscribe to any of those, set your subscription
to Digest mode. That strips out all the attachments automatically.
5. Most important, install and update your virus protection software
regularly. Make sure that it is turned on, too.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
