Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, the SoBig.F email virus continues to attack from it's secret
hideout on an unknown Museum-L user's Windows PC. The payload on this
particular virus appears to be more irritating than damaging, but it should
remind us of something very important: The next giant virus might not be as
benign.

If you do not have virus checking software installed (and updated!) on the
machine you have used to subscribe to Museum-L, you may be the source of
these attacks.

Some popular virus programs include:
+ Norton AntiVirus 2003 ($8 - $50)
+ McAfee VirusScan 7 ($24 - $50)

A free alternative is:
+ AVG Free Edition (http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php)

Please help the rest of the Museum-L community by acquiring one of these
products, installing and running it. The computer you save may be your
own...

Thanks.

-Andy
