Virus Alert

Following a sudden debilitating loss of system resources on our older
computer (from which we run all e-mail applications), I ran a virus check
and was shocked when Norton reported 97 files -- many of them common
executables, including the program file for this e-mail application --
infected with no less than four different viruses.

As we know better than to open files we don't trust, I'm still in the
process of determining how this occurred; however, prudence suggests that I
warn people on our e-mail list to check for viruses, particularly if
they've received attachments or odd-looking e-mails from our address lately.

Thanks,
