The EIDXA list server has received several dozen messages which appear to
have been generated by the Klez virus.  I believe this is also called the
.W32 virus.  I don't believe any of them have managed to make it out on the
list as the mailman software requires that I approve any message that does
not meet certain rules like "no text" in the case of .W32.

The first of strange message I received was from KE0MO and it may have been
a .W32.  K0JGH definitely had a problem and I talked to Glen and he believes
he has it cleaned up.  I also received one message from K4VX.  Others have
not been indefinable as far as the source.

Please run you anti-virus program and watch carefully.  This virus is a
major problem right now across the whole country.
