[WriteLog] virus!

Come on guys - Many viruses attack address books and then send infected
email APPEARING to originate from that computer.  I get viruses that appear
to be from hams almost every day - It's a side-effect of subscribing to ham
reflectors.  Your only defense is to run a good antivirus like Norton.  I'm
sure Don runs a good program and is not sending out viruses.  I never notify
hams anymore when I get something that ppears to be from them - It rarely
ever really is from that person.
