Members: I believe there was a virus attached to last email that went through (Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot, see de-virused text below). It is the KAK worm - WScript.KakWorm.dr.
I don�t believe it�s a serious one. See http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=10509 How can you disinfect? Odds are most of you have virus protection or security upgrades to programs such as Outlook. If so, the malicious script never ran. But if you are not sure, you can check your system online at: http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp I apologize for the inconvenience, but I want to take this as an opportunity to remind everyone **this is why we ask you to send list posts in Plain Text format, not HTML or MIME which give colored backgrounds and specific fonts. PLEASE, if you can reconfigure your email program to send Plain Text, or at least configure it to send messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that way, you�d save everyone hassles. (PS AOL users are locked into HTML mail, at least in version 7.) If you need to reply to Michelle for bottom-of-the-ballot stories, you can safely reply to this message and paste [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the address field. Again, sorry for the inconvenience, and if you wonder why I sometimes reject non-plain-text mail, this is why.

Getting to the Bottom of the Ballot is a project sponsored by neighborhoods in Southwest, Southwest Journal, and Southwest Community Education.�� This effort to help folks vote more in local races will be sponsoring candidates fairs and local government/election educational programs. �Please email me off-list by tommorow�(Sunday, August 4th) and include your name and neighborhood.
