Even if it were possible I'm quite certain that nobody here would ever intentionally send a virus. So the answer to "Why are you sending me a attachment that has a virus?" would likely be "I had no idea. I didn't mean to." :) If anybody needs free antivirus software I recommend AVG and avast! http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Holly -----Original Message----- From: gsas-member-bounces@thekrib.com [mailto:gsas-member-bounces@thekrib.com] On Behalf Of Erik Olson Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 10:54 AM To: Greater Seattle Aquarium Society member chat Subject: Re: [GSAS-Member] Re: price A lot of infected machines impersonate arbitrary sources, including mailing lists people are subscribed to. There is a 75% chance here that Sandy received a virus-laden e-mail from someone's infected machine who is subscribed to gsas-member. Interestingly, the other 25% is that the message I'm replying to didn't even come from Sandy (or any human) at all, but is in fact itself a virus-bearing e-mail. [OK, I just looked at the headers... the e-mail probably did come from Sandy, so it's the first case.] So ONCE AGAIN... You'll never get a virus from this mailing list. We strip out all attachments. If you get a virus that appears to come from this list, it didn't. - Erik On Wed, 8 Feb 2006, Cichlidqueen wrote: > Why are you sending me a attachment that has a virus? > > Gsas-member <gsas-member@thekrib.com> wrote: February price > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
