The virus that has been running around a lot lately is the BadTrans virus.
It is a nasty piece of work, and has the bad habit of embedding itself in
your backup files, so that when you restore, you reinstall the virus!
Software to remove it can be found at:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html
You CAN catch it from .pif files and .pif files disguised as .wav files,
so be doubly cautious about opening these attachments.  I highly suggest
an updated and competent virus checker program.  Either a List member has
it and is unknowingly passing it on, or someone is spamming the List with
it; I also received a piece of email from a bad address with the BadTrans
virus.  Thank heaven for PINEmail!
