    Someone the list is infected but I don't know who, nor at this point, thanks
    to Norton and my firewall (also with an anti-virus whosis) I always the
    alert, dump it into quarantine, and delete. No harm, no foul. It's that
    W32 klez.something, your right. Somehow the infected computer has my name,
    and others on the list, I assume. I find out every so often because I find
    a piece of mail returned to me that was sent to somewhere from me. Except I
    didn't send it.

    That's what this virus does. It tries to replicate itself by sending itself
    out using , as the so-called "sender" one of the name in the infected
    computer's address book.

    I'm told that, FWIW, the McAfee program is every good as the Norton but one
    thing I like about the Norton is that in addition to scanning incoming mail,
    it also scans outbound mail so that I couldn't infect someone else.

    Now lets go back to bitching about our boat systems <g>.
