Viruses NOT on the list

["Stragand, Dave" <dave.stragand@xxxx>]

As usual, there is much confusion about viruses "spreading" through a yahoogroups list. In short, they can't. This listserver does NOT allow attachments of any kind.

You may get emailed a virus from someone who is ON the list due to the factthat some viruses scour through your system looking for addresses to send to. You are just as likely to get one sent to you through this method froma friend or relative -not- on the list as from someone -on- the list, so leaving the list will have no effect at all on the number of viruses you might receive via email.

As far as everyone's home computers... be responsible. Get an antivirus program, and keep it up to date. Every office computer should have an antivirus program installed as well. (If you do not have an antivirus program onyour work computer, contact your computer administrator or immediate supervisor and push them to purchase and install one. It is completely irresposible in this day and age for any business to operate without antivirus protection.)
