Please Excuss if this is sent twice:
I'm not sure, there may have been a failure in communication with my server.
Also, Please excuss the nature of the subject but I thought it important.
I have received e-mail from several HAM buddies with an attachment that my
Norton AntiVirus strips off because it contains the worm "w32.Klez.gen at mm" I
happened to be fortunate enough to have the latest update of virus
definitions on my computer at the time.
Many of you have received messages from me in the past telling you that
some virus or worm that you heard about is a hoax and the messaging of it is
unwarranted.
This is not the case here.
This is not one of those hoax things that is supposed to erase your drive
or cause sterility.
It is a real virus/worm that causes mass emailing and clogs up the system
as well as causing instability in you own computer.
I hope all Hams will get together on this, please take 5-10 min and lets
nip this thing in the bud.
