I am writing this Email to notify everyone that a virus has infected the
list.  It was sent to me by someone and now my system is sending out random
emails.  Please accept my apology for this and I am making every attempt to
correct the problem.  The name of the virus is called Magistr and if you
search for it on the net, you will find a cleaner at www.antivirus.com.  It
appears to work but time will tell.  For anyone who automatically assumes
that these Emails are being sent purposely, you are incorrect.  The virus
description statest that it starts sending out random e mails after about 5
minutes.  It is apparent that many of you have good antivirus programs.  I
thought I had a good one McAfee VirusScan and I update the dat files
regularly, but it dit NOT detect this one.  Good luck with your systems, and
again,  my apologies if your virus software didn't detect it.    At least I
gave you the fix......whoever sent it to me did not do me the same favor.
