RE: HEADS UP VIRUS BEING SPREAD one of our readers infected?

["Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com>]

Another option is for the list-serve software to remove all attached
executable files from incoming messages it receives before the messages
are blasted out to the world.  This is a good policy for any email list,
but particularly important for a computer security list.

FWIW, Outlook 2002 automatically discarded the Update880.exe file on my
system, so I couldn't even look at it if I wanted to.  A password
protected .ZIP file is the generally accepted standard for sending out
malware samples.  However, I don't think malware is appropriate for this
list.

so, should being infected with a virus, or attempting to infect others
be grounds for automatic unsubscribing?

did a google for update880.exe, found nothing yet.
