Dear List, and anyone who writes messages feeling some guilt

There is no one to blame for this ocassional virus outbursts,  Their =
creators keep finding ways of making them more and more clever day after =
day, modern viruses wil encript, will change shape, will send messages =
using lines You used sometimes to confuse your friends. Even more, at =
one time, and mind you, I am careful enough to have the latest antivirus =
update, a virus sent to me was not able to get into my computer, but it =
did get into my Hotmail server, my computer was clean, but the virus =
kept resending itself from my address book at Hotmail!!!  So, do not =
feel guilty nor blame anybody, just try to be as careful as you can.=20

      I was one of the people who posted who the message was sent to me =
by, but I never placed any blame on this individual specifically, seeing =
as how the new message had an @microsoft.com domain name, and the last =
post I got from him had an @aol.com domain.  I just thought that was =
interesting, and if he saw my post would examine his machine. For all I =
know, the virus could find his user name and assign any domain name from =
a host of known ones and send itself out again. But we will never find =
out if we don't share clues as to the origin of the host.=20
      Even if one of us gets a virus infection from someone on the list, =
it doesn't make sense to blame that individual. He had his guard down =
just like the person who got infected. OK, so you're both negligent.=20

    One could also not use the address book in Windows! I never have and =
have
    never had that particular problem!
