these viruses are currently only affecting:
1) attachments - so never down load without knowing for sure. I knew someone who got a virus allegedly from their Mother's account --- he said "if you cant trust your mother, you can you trust?"
2) folks who use Microsoft's mail reader - outlook express
if you don't open attachments (particularly without checking to see the attachment's format) or don't use outlook express -- you should be fine ((for the time being))
and buy a virus detector - and keep it updated

Given that ACN is an Athens-based ISP (I just checked), and Korinthos is
the name of a Greek city (which you might know as Corinth), I would guess
that the infected machine is in that city. Any list members from there?

I'll second that. And don't just keep it updated: be paranoid about
updating it. New viruses appear almost every day, and it is the viruses
that your virus detector doesn't recognize that are going to infect
your machine.
In addition, installing a firewall, such as zone alarm, might be a good
idea, to prevent worms, such as Opaserv, from entering your machine.
(I've seen this virus being caught by a virus detector as soon as the
machine was connected to the internet, so this is no exaggeration!)

Hi Erik,
Here is the new URL, but please be advised it has not been
updated, though it does contain more information than the
Mathstar copy (which was based on an earlier version). Also,
it is a TEXT ONLY site, as there are currently no images. I
have been working on a series of all NEW images for the site.

Hope that helps until I can get the time to actually sit down
and fix everything (including the bad links).

Hi all!
I am very sorry if Apostolis was in any way hurt by my suspiciousness. But I was only saying what I believed Thomas Lauritsen told us between the lines in his posting about this. Anyway, I formed it as a question ? I was *never* blaming my friend Apostolis for causing anything deliberately. I hope you understand that receiving 2-4 viruses from the same place every day does really irritate me. Thomas did tell us where it comes from, so what more could I do? So those of you who are experts on this, please continue your investigation so that this mess can be stopped as soon as possible.

Can someone help me get hold of the Donald Duck dailis in Norway ?
Message 102 -

Hi all norwegians on this list.
A while ago someone on this list mentioned that the Donald Duck dailies
by Al Taliaferro had been published in Norway up till I think 1951.
In Sweden were I live they stopped after 1940. So I wonder can anyone of
you help me to get hold of these from 1941 and upwards ?
Either if you can sell them privately or help me with the address for a
used comic store or private seller that might have them. If you're not
interested in selling maybe we can change. I have many swedish Kalle
Anka and some others to change with and a few american WDC.
Hoping for an answer.
