[Fwd: Virus]


Ellen,

The cracker made a third attempt to infect this computer with a virus
this morning using a message from <sibrob>. This message was addressed
directly to my e-mail account, so <sibrob@yahoogroups.com> was not used
for the delivery. Apparently, the no attachments policy is effective in
halting those types of attacks conducted through the <sibrob>
distributions.
