[simpits-tech] Attn Gene, suspect hacking on simpits site

[Rochester, Craig]

I've been receiving viruses like the YAHA.E recently.  I have never had
viruses before I joined the simpits-tech list.  This may be just a
coincidence, but worth noting.  I use "Norton Anti-Virus".  I haven't spent
the time to become fluent enough with with NAV to identify the source emails
for the viruses, or take any action beyond deleting  them as they come in.
NAV says all my emails are scanned prior to mailing.
 
Is this superficial use of NAV for virus detection and cleaning sufficient
to protect this list?  Anybody?
 
Thanks,
 
Craig

hi, Gene

....probably from a piece of mail from simpits-tech, but i can't comment
further. 

it's the same version of the thing travelling around a few weeks back. i
deleted it too fast to associate the owner with the mischief. most of the
time they don't even know they're infected.

since your'e unix-based, it's probably a different problem altogether.

still, thanks for your good detective work.
