This email address will be expiring. Please read attachment for details. > Best regards, Administrator >Attachment: message.zip >The attached .ZIP file contains a file named MESSAGE.HTM.

All Love, Jean, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang http://bernese.biz
Fwd: Virus Alert Notification - Update your virus definitions.
Hopefully this warning comes before anyone is hit... tho my Norton Antivirus and ZoneAlarm firewall have stopped at least 4 infected messages over the past few days, including 2 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be safe!

Don't open Jean Cheesman's messages - virus alert!
Hi Jean (Cheesman) just phoned me to say that her computer got infected by the latest version of Iworm - bugbear 32 ( or something to that effect!) and the virus has played havoc with her system. She got infected by opening a message from a berner -l member who thanked her for her help whilst their Berner died and sent her an updated version of the Rainbow Bridge poem. This attachment carried the virus. Please note: the sender might not be aware that they are sending a virus. Please DO NOT open any private messages from Jean ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) until she posts to the list that she is all clean again. Michaela, Harvey & Rupert Devon/UK

Re: Unable to open files due to Virus alert
I have been unable to open the last few digests due to virus alerts by my server-- Optimum Online's Norton Antivirus Protection System.
RE: Virus Alert
Larry and Litia - you may have a virus but it is also possible that your email address was "harvested" off of someone else's computer that was infected with a virus and used (forged) as the sender of virus email. There are many of these traveling around in berner circles these days. I have had clients get hundreds of "mailer daemon returned mail" emails in their inbox saying a message could not be delivered to the recipient - they are not infected with a virus - but their email address was harvested off someone else's computer and used to send mass mailings with the result that they get all the failed messages. But that said, it is still necessary for all of us to have current and up to date antivirus software. I personally like Norton Antivirus 2002 or 2003 the best as it automatically updates the virus definitions without user intervention. Antivirus software installed on a computer on which the virus definitions are not regularly (at least weekly) updated provides NO protection against the daily barrage of new viruses.

Apparently we have contracted a virus and I will am currently buying updated software to correct this problem. We own a Mac computer, but we have Microsoft office, which can be affected by alot of viruses. Even if you have a Mac that won't be affected by the virus directly, you can send on the virus to another computer that has Microsoft office.
