Re: ADMIN -- VIRUS ALERT PrettyPark

From: "D. Patterson" <nye@mail.fidalgo.net>

John,

We're subscribed to <iris-talk>, but we are not subscribed to
<iris-photos>. When I browsed through the e-mail for messages from
Earnest Royal, I found two messages delivered via <iris-talk>. The
earlier message was a greeting for this past Christmas. The current
message regarding C:[...]PrettyPark[....] has a date for Wednesday. I've
never opened either of the messages, yet. I'll investigate this and seek
to isolate any possible viruses intact for further investigation, if my
Norton Anti-Virus can do the job properly. I'll keep you informed about
the subsequent events.
