It was in an attachment in an email to the list. It wasn't spoofed. I assume everyone got it. I've sent the info on which specific email it was to Kris. Contact him if you're concerned. The offending email was innocently enough sent. The person sending it is a very nice person, who somehow had this slip by his up to date virus definitions. It was a .vbs. I went to the archive page and norton 2000 notified me of it too. I didn't even get the email. My isp notified me of it and stopped it's delivery to me. I was just warning others to be wary. It was a an attachment called links.vbs Hope no one opened it. I don't open any attachment that I am not specifically expecting, even from a friend, so I wouldn't have opened it anyway.

Same thing happened to me about six months ago. The address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is faked (spoofed). Note that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is not the address you receive your other list messages from -- and certainly, the "owner" of the CTRL list is not busy sending viruses directly to you with his address on them. The only possible way to trace the message is to look at the original message header - and /or contact your ISP. Better yet, just keep your virus scanner updated. Best of luck. >--- Tara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Did anyone get a virus from the list?

Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply. Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector. ======================================================================== Archives Available at: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/CTRL.html <A HREF="http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/ctrl.html">Archives of [EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ <A HREF="http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/">ctrl</A> ======================================================================== To subscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SUBSCRIBE CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNsubscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SIGNOFF CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Om
