[Hallicrafters] Virus

[Peter Markavage]

There's something floating around. The last few days I've received a
number of questionable e-mails with attachments including two from
myself. Of course, I never send attachments through the reflector.
Subject line varies from "Hello", "Hi", "Let's Get Together", "System
Administrator", "Important System News". Norton caught them all. Keep
your Norton cranked up.
