Deliberate spreading of viruses?

[Guest guest]

I haven't been able to keep up with all of the mail, so I am totally

confused. I saw a warning today about viruses from someone named MT. Is

someone deliberately trying to spread viruses to list members?

Sure enough, I had 3 messages from MT in my inbox today all with

attachments. I had actually tried to open one of the attachments (before

reading the warning) since it appeared to be a personal reply to one of

my postings. My program didn't allow me to, thank goodness (if the

warning is true).

What is going on?

I don't think it's deliberate on the part of any list members, but am

very suspicious that yahoo is under deliberate attack. Many yahoo

groups are having major virus problems. What bugs me is that I read

all posts at the website, yet the virus still somehow gets to my

personal email address via my yahoo memberships. Most virus

attachments are coming with the statement " Take a look at .... "

We all need to keep our antivirus programs updated. I'm using

InoculateIT, which updates weekly, thank goodness.
