Virus Warning.

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

Just so you all know, the last big virus that went around (Msblast.exe
buried in the system32 directory) wasn't a virus that you could get through
email.  I don't know if David or anyone is talking about this particular one
but just so you all know.  This particular worm ended up getting onto our
computers just by being online.  Sort of like those data compiling little
programs that you get rid of with Ad Aware.  HTH!
