Re: Please virus scan your systems

I get virus' from the list but not from "true" members of the list.  They
are from spoofed email addresses like security () microsoft com posting to
the list.

about the only virus that can get through this list is the honor system
virus, whereupon receiving it, you delete a bunch of random files,
forward the emal, and reboot.

Those virus alert are most likely the cause of someone you've emailed
sometime in your life getting mydoom or a similar virus.  It's pretty
simple to tell if it came from this list, look for attachements.

It's a coincidence move on.

Hi all,
I recently joined this list, and ever since I've been getting an insane
number of virus e-mails.  Since I wasn't getting any before and this is
the
ONLY mailing list I'm on with this address, I'm pretty certain they are
coming from this list.  Please run a scan on your systems, as a virused
IDS
mailing list is insanely ironic...

Thanks and God bless,
Scott
