Re: [Leica] Viruses from the LUG?

[John Collier <jbcollier@shaw.ca>]

There are viruses that generate contaminated emails with fake senders. 
Someone, or multiples there in, on the Leica-Users is infected and the 
virus is generating these emails with fake senders from their in box. 
Not much we can do but ask that everyone run their anti-virus software 
with the latest patches; and:

  DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS FROM UNSOLICITED EMAILS YOU TWITS!

:-)

It really is quite ingenious as some viruses will attach jpegs from the 
infected host's computer. I have received thumbnails of the weirdest 
things as the virus tries to tempt me into launching it.

Who automatically deletes ANY unsolicited email with attachments; even 
from my mother.
