The attachments recently distributed using this mailing list (cat.cpl,
fish.cpl, etc.) were created by the [EMAIL PROTECTED] virus. They may or may
not have actually originated from the people whose names were listed in the
From: header, so don't assume they are at fault: one of the features of
this virus is that it disguises the real sender in email that it sends. 

I don't know yet whether these attachments actually carry the virus or not;
as of this writing, Norton AntiVirus 2004 does not identify them as being
the virus. 

To be on the safe side, though, I am going to shut down the list server for
the next several days while the virus catchers catch up. If you have
questions, please email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please don't ask
me to help you find or kill the virus on your computer. In general, it's
unwise to open an attachment unless you know what it is. If you are
infected, go to http://www.sarc.com and follow the instructions for
removing [EMAIL PROTECTED]
