Hi,

There is a bad email MS-virus going around:

http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,108793,00.asp
http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=13100651

It is one of those that grabs email addresses from anywhere it
can on an infected machine and forwards itself to EVERYONE.
Apparently my email address shows up on a lot of machines because
I have received 100s of virii filled emails in the past 24 hours.
I would not be surprised to find out that others are as well.
There were complaints about the same thing on the gcc list.

Please, please update your virus definitions, check your machines,
and continue to be vigilant.
