There are some new, virulent worms and viruses now loose on the internet. Walter Alberts last posting is
almost certainly from one. Since the fairchild list strips off attachments, the virus will not propagate to
other members via the email list, however, if you recieve an email that seems odd directly from Walter (or
anyone else, for that matter) DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENTS. (Bob Waldren's computer sent out a batch of
contaminated emails yesterday as well).
This is a good reminder that anti-virus software is almost essential for PC internet users. Be sure to keep
your virus definition files up-to-date by visiting your vendor's web site and downloading the current files.
Also, if you use Microsoft Explorer or Outlook Express, be sure you have applied the latest security patches
(downloadable from Microsoft support).

Walter,
You (actually, your computer) sent the following message to the fairchildclub mailing list. There are several
microsoft viruses and worms that send random infected documents from an infected computer to everyone in the
local email address book (and other sources).
You need to get up to date virus protection / removal software and treat your computer asap; some of these
worms can do real damage to your files.
