In a message dated 01/02/97 05:15:10, you write:
<< I believe that it is still true
that you can not receive a virus through your e-mail. So anti-virus messages
aren't necessary. >>
We had a warning today from AOL UK HQ - do not open files attached to e-mails
unless they are from someone you know. There are one or two nasty people
spreading viruses this way. HOWEVER, viruses can not be spread by e-mail
alone - only in file attachments.
AOL UK have also set up a "What's Wrong" keyword page so that we can actually
get up-to-the-minute info on what's wrong with the system. This is daft - I
know all too well what's wrong! It's XXXXX (censored)
