Quick Explanation - was [Hallicrafters] Virus

[Roger Halstead (K8RI)]

I tried to post this, but unfortunately it went to an individual address the
first time.

Before we get a whole bunch of traffic on this:

1.    Yes, there is a virus going around.
3.    Do not depend on the "From" address, it most likely will be lying to
you.
        The virus uses one of the addresses in the address book as the from
address, or may make one up.
2.    Don't open attachments without first verifying the person you know
really sent it.
4.    You'll be fine.
5.    All you need to know about the NovArg/MyDoom "worm" is at :

6.  Lets try to not end up with a long thread on this.

If any one has concerns, or wants to discuss it, drop me a direct e-mail
off list.
