>> Did anyone on the KR list get it too, and if so has anyone investigated
 root of the viruses and who sent them? I'm sure Glenda didn't<<

I notified the company that hosts the list about the problem.  There have 
been three or four more similar to it in the last couple of weeks, all from 
different memebers.  I've "moderated" that account (and the others), in case 
their PC is infected and spewing this stuff out.  They can read but not post 
to the list until the problem is fixed.  Another possibility is that their 
addresses have been "spoofed" so they appear to come from them, but in 
reality they come from a spammer somewhere.  I would think the mylist server 
would be able to tell the difference, but maybe not.  That was the reason 
for my request of them, to see if they could determine if it was spoofed or 
if it really did come from that computer.  I guess I could compare IP 
addresses between previous messages and these to see for myself.

Nobody "sent" viruses, but instead a link was sent which you had to click on 
to get a virus.  Most of these things you can just look at and tell they're 
not somewhere you want to go, or have no relevance to the context of KR 
building.  It's always a good idea to ignore anything that's so vague or 
off-topic that it makes no sense.  We should all be savy enough by now to 
recognize these things and avoid them.
