False sender's address, can't be helped. Certainly a virus. We've had quite a few viruses purporting to come from Yahoo. We've even had viruses purporting to come from Journey to Forever, even from us personally, doing things like warning us that our email service is going to be closed down, please see the attachment (not!). It's happening to everyone, including a lot of the big environment groups, NGOs, businesses, all sorts of people. Keep your system properly patched and protected, keep your virus gear up to date, be a suspicious type. You can't get a virus via the group, by the way, it just can't happen. But you can get a virus from a false address pretending to be from the group, though you should be able to see the difference, as you did with this. Dear old Micro$oft, what a disaster. Yes, sure, if you keep it all squeaky-clean then there's no problem, right. Maybe it's even true, but during the most recent virus onslaught something like 70 million Windoze computers were infected and spewing out viruses and spam, the owners all cheerfully unaware. A security survey of a million computers in businesses in the US found an *average* infection rate of 28 viruses and worms per machine. It won't get better until M$ wakes up to the idea that maybe a secure OS might be something to think about. Holding your breath is contraindicated. Dumbo system administrators who set up protection systems that automatically send the damned things *back* to where they almost certainly didn't come from don't exactly help, but it seems to be their default mode. :-( Keith ------------------------ Yahoo!
