[RTTY] FW: QRZ.com virus

[WW3S]

this started almost 2 weeks ago on the Dxlab reflector.....Fred from QRZ 
published a letter detailing that no virus or malware exists on his 
site....whatever is happening affects only some users...I've been there 
several times daily and havent experienced any of the trouble.....running 
various versions of MS OS and AVG free....

Please, lets not clutter the reflector with all this this close to a major 
rtty contest....
