[Paddlewise] My computer is a sickie...

My apologies to all.  A virus that was not picked up by my virus protection program
(McAfee) spewed out a number of infected emails before I recognized what was
happening and stopped it.  Ralph Diaz' Norton AntiVirus identified it as "W32.Bqadtrans.13312_at_mm".
 Norton describes the virus as a MAPI worm that replies to all unread mails
in your email message folders, and drops a backdoor Trojan.  Symantec has posted
a report at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312_at_mm.html.


Thanks to Ralph, and again my deepest apologies.
    Bob Volin
