I was the one who appeared to have sent the virus to Alan.
MAY have been me, although I have all the normal protections in place (NAV,
Zone Alarm, hw firewall, mail washer) AND I received several similar one
myself today.

They have PICList subjects AND have a .BR relay address in the headers.
Maybe our Brazilian members (there are a few) could have an extra careful
check of their systems ?

And no. I haven't succumbed to PICList reading again (sniff) - just here
because of the virus reports. Hmm, I see CO2 sesnors mentioned, and lunar
videos, and .... helllllllp. Time to leave :-)
