Virus Warnings (especially badtrans)

[Jerry Feldman]

Some of you on this forum use Windows.
Lately, the W32.BADTRANS worm has been infecting a lot of systems. Discuss just received a 
couple of these within the past hour. Fortunately, the from address is prepended with an 
underscore (eg. gaf at blu.org becomes _gaf at blu.org) so mailman will block the postings. This is 
just a ward of cauthion for those unfortunate enough to be running Windows and even worse, 
Outlook Express.
