Re: [Fwd: VIRUS Warning]

[James S Jones]

The attachments to the original message were Windows screen saver 
files, which have a substantial track record for virus, trojan, worm, 
etc, transmission. Messages with such attachments are rarely hoaxes, 
but rather the virus transmission, proper.) One typical strategy of 
those attacks is to send messages out to some or all of the user's OE 
address book or history.

So:

	1) indeed, such a virus warning is of no use to a Mac user

        2) the sender may not even be aware of the message
            (it could easily have been sent by the virus spawning itself)

ever send it to a Mac list, Macs don't get Windows Viruses, so we

to worry it.
