Dan,

Since TheForge does not own or operate the host server I do not know the 
specifics of the virus nor it's source.  The host's system, LINUX based, 
traps them and simply gives me notice that a virus was trapped on it's way 
to TheForge list.  While the LINUX system isn't vulnerable to these bugs it 
is still capable of passing them along if not dealt with on the way in.

Because I can't identify either the virus or the source, the only help I 
can give members is for them to check their systems.
