I've been getting several messages a week with virus attachments. Most
"appear" to come from hams, but usually the callsigns used are vacant ones.
So far my Norton has found and quarantined them, but I never got them before
about two months ago. Your messages here make me wonder if you think there a
connection with the towertalk reflector... comments? Solutions?  Jerry K3BZ

Yep, I got three copies of it.  It wasn't sent from my address though.  I
don't know where/who cmgate.com is.  That's the address that was on the ones
I got.

My ISP doesn't even let me get them (I want to) anymore.  They filter
everything that comes into them.  I used to toss them onto a floppy and use
them to test my virus scanner, but now I can't do that.  ;o)
