Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Hey Eric,
Well, not saying it wasn't infected, but it is not the
message I referred to. The one I mentioned came
from mike_XXXX@XXXX (blanked on purpose) and
was sent to the Coollists group. It had an attached
file named "personal_message7.pif", which when
scanned by F-Prot is actually W32.Sality.A
A mass-mailing trojan. Only executes in Win9X,
so in DOS you're OK.
