Howdee,
In the wake of the HAPPY virus warning I got a suspicious e-mail attachment
this morning, something like WINSOK.DAT.
I'm on Macintosh so this don't fit and threw it away. Everyone on the list
better look at there files like the update said cause this list generates
98% if not higher of my e-mail and as a result the list could be no
infected.

My computer guy at work said this:
>>Follow 1 simple rule - never run or open any attachment that comes
>>from an unknown source, and you'll be fine.  Personally, I'd never
>>run something handed around by friends either - it's just dangerous.
>>Unless you or your friends know the precise source of the document,
>>you are at risk.  An email cannot contain a virus, only attachments
>>to emails can contain viruses, including Word and Excel documents
>>and especially anything .EXE
