Since most of you are not in the computer business end, thought you should know this....
We have been hit very hard by this latest one, I would assume that Chris
server will be too, so be patient if the messages take a bit to get
thru.

There are a rash of new viruses that have been introduced over the
weekend. Several of these viruses - at the moment - have found a way to
defeat most
anti-virus software. They come in as a file attachment in a password
protected zip file that can not be opened by the virus software. The
sender (most often a spoofed addresses - could be someone you recognize)
sends the virus in zipped format and when you attempt to open it - you
are zapped. In some case the password is included in the message. In
other the password is a simple blank - by attempting to open the zip
file you trigger it.
DO NOT OPEN ANY FILES - unless you have CONFIRMATION that the file was
sent to you by someone you know. ANY DOUBT DELETE!
