Virus warning

[Brian Wood]

I have received about 5 emails from a "Sierralyn Snisky" containing a copy
of an e-mail I posted to the list, containing a directive to "Take a look to
the attachment." The attachment from this person is something with a .scr
file type. This is very likely a virus. Do not open the attachment, or any
attachment with .scr or .vbs extensions! Odds are it's not even from that
person -- it's probably a virus that infected his machine and is sending out
these copies from his Outlook mail list. Delete the e-mail at once and make
sure you empty your recycle bin.

And just so we're all clear, you can't get a virus by reading e-mail, only
by explicitly opening attachments. Text messages cannot infect your
computer. Now, if you have an email package that automatically runs
attachments, you might be in worse shape.
