Rita,

Thank you for alerting us to a virus in an attachment to a NIFL-Health
posting from Linda McIntosh.
Unfortunately for me, I opened her message before I opened yours.

Alas, it's so easy to have a virus and pass it on to others - without
knowing you have done so.

Here are some of the lessons I am learning:
* Don't open attachments that don't have a message with them - even from
people you know
* Make sure you frequently update your anti-virus software. I'm trying to
remember to do this at least weekly.
* Read all your messages and headers before you open your mail.

I've alerted NIFL to this situation. I'll keep everyone posted if/when I
learn anything new.
