sigh ... as much fun as it is to read about passing viruses, what web browser 
you use etc,  if I wanted that stuff I would have subscribed to 
alt.windows.viruses or some such. Possibly the only thing more irritating 
that finding my inbox full of viral mail is finding humans posting it into 
mailinglists.

As a general principle of good netiquette it is considered ill-advised to 
post warnings/information/helpful suggestions regarding viruses. The traffic 
generated often exceeds the virus itself, and many 'social' viruses exist in 
the form of warnings about viruses that dont exist ... which people are 
passing around some 2 years since they started. 

no offence intended, but can I respectfully suggest that the emc-dev list 
restricts itself to matters related to emc development.
