Re: [GSAS-Member] Hmmmm...



This would be a prime example of the lengths people have gone to spread 
viruses.  I assume the attachment was stripped at the server level for the mail 
list, or you'd now be looking into how to remove the virus you had received.  
They make them look authentic by making up a new originating address coming 
from the actual domain they should be from.

  I'm a little confused by the fact that I received the following email since 
McAfee updates my virus definitions any time I'm online and I scan my computer 
every morning at 2:00 AM.  I wouldn't use this list to try to determine the 
problem, but I don't know any other way to contact Eric :(  Also, there was no 
"attached file".
