Just wanted to give everybody a heads up.

Seems the W32.Badtrans.b@mm has infected my computer and has sent e-mails to some board members. Just so everybody knows I have not sent any e-mails out since Monday to any board members so delete them. Please be warned this is a self-extracting and does not need to be opened or downloaded. Using your email preview is enough for this virus.

Here is the link incase your anti-virus does not remove the virus:

here.

I am truly sorry about this guys.

This is an older worm that is apparently not all that dangerous. The thing to look for is the file extension, ".pif". I saw the remnants leftover by our firewall the other day, a file named FUN.MP3.pif , of course I didn't open the file, but if you have IE5.0/5.5, you are vulnerable. Microsoft has a patch to fix it. Check Twiggi's link for more info.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger
those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is K1d when I lay my vengeance upon you.
