I was just informed by a fellow on another list that W32/Mydoom-A sends
dummy virus warning messages in an attempt to get you to open them to see
which postings were infected. Of course, you never sent the postings in
the first place, but now you're infected!

Bummer!


Bottom line: Don't even open virus warning messages!



 Peace, health, wisdom and wealth.
 Live long and prosper.
