Symantec has confirmed that the attachments were carrying a virus. NOTE: unless you actually opened one of the files, you are not at risk. If you read the email but did not open the attachment, you are safe. If by chance you did open one of attachments (fish.cpl or cat.cpl or garry.cpl), there is a removal tool here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED] l.tool.html This is a very fast-moving virus: the virus-hunters were only catching up with the current version this afternoon. I wouldn't call it a benign virus, but it doesn't randomly destroy your data. After sending this, I am going to take the list off-line again while the world catches up. I'll also look for a way to prevent this in the future. In the meantime, I am sorry that the only communication we've had with one another had nothing to do with Virgil. And I apologize for the role that this mailing list has had in propagating this virus.
