[Towertalk] Re: Virus

[Dinsterdog@aol.com]

I got a virus myself 3 weeks ago from a ham call sign, and I know of at least 
one other ham who got one from my email shortly after, N2NEP.  I assume that 
when the virus is downloading, it uploads one's email address id and sends it 
out to a list captured from either towertalk or other related eham or 
contesting.com list. Norton caught the virus but could not isolate it. I had 
to take the machine to a repair center and have it purged out.  If you get 
any file from a ham call with an attached file, I suggest to dump it-
