For what it's worth, the virus that got you is a common one called W32.Magistr.39921@mm. A complete description and removal instructions are located here: http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.magistr.39921@.... You need to get rid of it right away. It's a real nasty little bastard that can do a lot of damage to your PC. I'm sending a CC of this note to the group, just in case someone was unlucky enough to open it. Let me know when you're sure your machine is clean and I will re-enable your ability to most to the group directly.

Subject: Re: IMPORTANT, VIRUS SENT TO GROUP IN ATTACHMENT FROM BJBARBER My apologies for this problem! I do not know where or how this came about. I use virus detect software. What's more,I did not send anything to the disklavier group on Sunday. The text of the message sent is familiar to me, it is in a word document I downloaded from a pond maintenance group about a year ago. The file "internet.bat" is nowhere to be found on my harddrive. I have deleted the document, I will download the latest pattern file for the virus software and scan my drives. Again my apologies for the problems that have arisen. Bill J.
