I just got an E-mail with a zip attachment "nomoney.zip" containing the
virus  WORM/NetSky.B.1.

The - probably faked - sender was

Subject: hello

   From: 2gpower at libero.it
     To: all at abouthugo....

from the chatter

Since I'm using the  e-mail address all at abouthugo... exclusively for the
SeqFan list, one of the list participants seems to have an active virus
on his PC.

May I therefore ask all here in this group who have not already done it,
