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!
