There have been a number of viruses and worms going around that may or may
not be targeting beekeepers, possibly  BEE-L members in particular.
Although the BEE-L subscription list is confidential (hence not open to
broad spamming), individual addresses can be harvested from the archives and
attacked.  Many BEE-L members have reported attacks in the past few days,
and these attacks can snowball and/or reoccur if the virus is sent on to
other beekeeper's mailers.

BEE-L subscribers (and anyone on the internet for that matter) should have
an anti-virus agent installed on their PC and the agent should be updated
regularly.  I have received many "disinfected" messages in the past few days
from my antivirus software.

Beware!  If you do not have antivirus software, get some!  If you have
antivirus software, make sure it is up to date.  It is also advisable to run
antivirus software to verify disks and directories you access.
