Re: WARNING! READ THIS!

Title: RE: WARNING! READ THIS!
It's an email worm. Obviously, Mr. Pcrao archives his list messages, so it's working it's way through his messages and hitting us all. After the 6th one in a row, I used the "Block Sender" feature of Outlook Express to deal with the issue.
 
I'll bet the next 200 messages on Midrange-L's list are going to start with "VIRUS WARNING!" or something to that effect. Sigh....

    WARNING!

    I have just received three different suspicious emails from:

    pcrao@esplindia.com

    All of these emails had a 13KB file attached, two of which had a .scr
    ending, and one which had a .pif ending, but with different names.  The
    files look to be executable, although I can't discern their content.

    These were sent in response to messages I posted on this list.  I have sent
    an email to the company asking them to respond as to their involvement in
    this matter.

    I HIGHLY suspect that these attachments are malicious!!!  DO NOT OPEN THEM!
