VIRUSES

Hi RASMBers,

	Sorry for the spate of virus laden emails. Seems the RASMB 
email list has ben "discovered" by the hackers.

You should delete and not open any emails with attachments. AND you 
must also look in your attachments directory or folders and drag any 
of those attachments to the recycling bin or trash. and empty the 
trash to completely remove them from your computer.


The nasty emails usually end in 2 extensions like A N E X O1.doc.lnk 
or elsy-op.doc.pif or  ruta3copeliua.doc.pif


The second extension is not always visible under the default Windows 
display making you think it is a benign document. These email 
attachments contain the (TROJ_SIRCAM.A) virus or the SIRCAM virus.
