Virus Alert/Roger Jolly

[Stacy Adams]

Two days ago I recived an old message from Roger via (I think) this list.  
It was a message from earlier this year, Roger giving information about the 
CAPT Convention which happened last May.  There were two attachments with 
the message, with CAPT related titles indicating they contained convention 
info.  Because the message was old and now irrelevant, I assume that it 
probably a virus that used one of Roger's old messages with attachments to 
spread itself to others.

I suspect Roger's computer is definitely in need of some medical attenion.
