Subject: [SoG] Nasty Virus
Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2002 17:05:43 -0400


I know list owners do not like virus warnings posted on their lists, but
this is a sneaky one.

I have just picked up what looked like a perfectly normal list message
headed

[SoG] "Institution" in 1901 census

It turned out not to be a list message, but just sent to me by a lady whose
name I know. It had an attachment named "Gordonbeavington1851.txt.scr"
which is almost certainly a virus - I had a similar one last year that
wiped out all my .jpg files. The attachment size is about 50,000K
