The only thing WORSE that a virus is all the stupid email traffic about
warnings and discoveries that are generated as a side effect!

There is no need to verify that it is a virus ... just do NOT click on
any executable from any source.  If you are dumb enough to execute a
file received via email, then you deserve to contract the virus!

If you do receive an executable attachment from a known and trusted
source, do NOT click on it.  Leave it in your inbox ONLY.  Contact
your trusted source and determine if they did indeed send you an
executable file ... if and only if they DID INTENTIONALLY send you
the file is it okay to execute it.  Remember that many applications
are capable of executing macros written in Visual Basic!  That means
that Word or Excel or .... document is capable of carrying a virus.

If you do receive a virus, please do NOT tell the world ... just
delete it or execute it as you choose.

Thanks,
   -Nick
