Re: Virus, or Spam? - Cross posted

Todd,

There is a Code Red virus attack underway across the net today. There 
is info on Microsoft's homepage. It is aimed at internet servers to 
cause denial of use by overloading the servers with messages. Only 
Windows NT and Windows 2000 machines are at risk.

I never open attachments from senders I don't know or, even if I do 
know them, only if I am sure it is legit.

Safe browsing and make sure your virus software is up to date!!

Martin
