[Antennas] WARNING ---- virus in mail that APPEARS to be from this list

Sat, 5 Oct 2002 13:45:28 -0400

I received an email that indicated it was from the Antennas group here on
qth, however,t he 'from' field was just dummied up in the email (clever
these virus spreaders, aren't they?).
Problem was, it had an attachment - and email from the qth lists NEVER,
NEVER have an attachment. The qth mail handler strips off all attachments
and html code for virus protection.
The virus scanner caught and quarantined it - and then just deleted it.
There are so many variations of email viruses floating around now, that ANY
email with an attachment should be suspect. Some of these viruses can
attack your system merely by opening the mail.. Soooo... turn off the
preview pane and suspect ever email with an attachment...
This particular email came from a user's system. The virus sends out the
attachment in a mail to people in the user's address book and even their
in-box..... Time to update your anti-virus software. I now do so EVERY DAY.
