folks, please do not open the attachments then. I have just realized this. I can not guarantee the status of the attachments. it was sent by the wsn system administrator to the list as a warning of new viruses.. I don't think a virus is attached to his post, since he is a serious person...but you decide..actually, you can read the text without opening the attachments.

Re: [Fwd: new viruses...] (fwd)
Dear Pen-l, I for one did not open this message. It is my understanding that some of the latest viruses have come labeled as "virus alerts" with packages attached that are supposed to help you fight it. Maybe this one is legit, but just so you all know.
