Moderators have received about 10 emails today aimed at the list, each of
which contained a virus.   It seems that a number of our members are
currently infected with viruses and may not know it.

Our systems caught these infected messages, of course, and such email is
never released to the list, but this blitz, from diverse addresses can be
taken as a sign that internet users should be very careful to update their
virus software today, and very careful about opening email with attachments.
Just to show how fast things are changing currently, AVG anti virus has had
three updates in the last several days.

Virus protection is beyond the scope of this list (and not up for
discussion).  Please search Google for 'virus scan' and/or other such keys
for more info.

PS: FWIW, http://housecall.antivirus.com/ and
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ are free online services that have
worked well for us in the past, and are a good check to see if your virus
software missed something.
