Thanks for checking.  For anyone else who wants the check the host, the best 
thing to do is send yourself an e-mail message then view the full headers 
(Outlook probably has a menu item for that) -- see if brasiltelecom.net.br 
appears in any of the Received: lines.

I run Virus Scan and I did not find anything.
I'm glad to hear that.  Brazil is a big country -- I'm sure that there are 
many other list members there -- but I'm grateful that you took the time to 
check.

All the best,

David

If the answer to all three questions is 'yes', then your system may be 
infected, sending out hundreds or thousands of virus e-mails to everyone in 
your address book.  Please disconnect your computer from the network now,

To avoid this problem in the long term, you should stop using Outlook to

keep finding security holes in Outlook and MSIE that allow attachments to 
run themselves; running virus-checking software is not good enough, because 
the worst damage happens in the first couple of days before people have time 
to learn about the virus and update their protection software.

Curt: you might want to disable all binary attachments in postings to the 
list, so that the lists do not spread the virus any further.

All the best,

David

Is it updated. You should have at least detected 3 infected messages
from the list recently
