List,
    At risk of offending tom c may I suggest that
anyone on the list that uses microsoft outlook or
outlook express please make sure that you DO NOT have
vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com,the yahoo equivalent or any
other address related to the list in your outlook
address book.
This may prevent the spreading of the virus which
often sends these viruses to everyone in the address
book.   Best thing of course is to switch to a web
base e-mail address that does not use outlook and
includes virus scans for downloads and is unable to
abuse your address book.   Sorry for your infection
Matthew but tom has gerry well protected these days so
my guess is the infection is secondary to gerry which
is nearly as clean as a virgin or at least as a
madonna.

Subject: Virus- i'm infected! and may have spread it
too!

Heads up- i got a virus from someone on this list.
It's the lovely
nimbda
virus... I am not sure who sent it (i have a hunch
though) but it
infected
1452 files within an hour. I may have passed it along
to others too.
None
of my other machines are infected- just one machine.
Sophos Anti Virus
cleaned it up. I had all of the recent micros**t
security and system
patches.  I also had the latest sophos IDE's
installed. Those 2
measures
didn't stop the virus though.

cheers
matthew
