I did an alert on the RCSE about the Sircam virus which I've now received no less than 19 times at work - twice in Spanish. Before I did the post, I cheked out the virus warning at Carnegie Mellon (www.cert.org) and Symantec (www.symantec.com) . Nothing wrong with virus warnings, it's passing along un-verified scares that's wrong. Let's face it CNN is not a computer company they're the dread media, although I'm not clear that CNN actually had anything to do with the warning. Please don't pass along un-verified virus warnings without checking them out first, and include in your warning the URL on Carnegie-Mellon or Symantic (or similar) that gives the full story. Crying wolf is a bad thing, just ask Little Red Riding Hood. Richard Shilling RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
