Messages with viruses

[Susan Gawarecki <loc@icx.net>]

The proliferation of annoying messages (with "spoofed" senders) carrying 

viruses that are appearing on the RadSafe List means that [at least one] 

subscriber to the list is infected.  Even if this virus doesn't destroy 

data, the fact that this individual doesn't have an anti-virus program 

that is up to date means that he or she is vulnerable to other more 

harmful viruses.  I would encourage all who have been putting off 

getting good protective software to buy a reputable package from Norton 

or McAfee.  For protection against trojans, if your Windows operating 

system doesn't have a built in firewall, get one of those as well.
