Rochelle Kenyon, Moderator NIFL-Learning Disabilities and Literacy Discussion List RKenyon721@aol.com . As you may have noticed, some German spam has circumvented the NIFL discussion list spam filter and is being posted to the NIFL-AALPD discussion list. This spam is generated by a computer virus, and this virus is sending spam as plain-text messages to the NIFL-AALPD list. How is this happening? The infected computer "spoofs" the source address of the e-mail. In other words, someone out there has an infection, AND they have your e-mail address on their computer. Their infected computer selects your e-mail address at random and pretends to be you, and sends out this spam. You should delete these spam postings, and do NOT follow the links in the spam. Make sure your anti-virus software is up-to-date and that your Windows updates are current. If you have questions or need help, please contact your local technical assistance. If you have not clicked on any unexpected attachments recently, you should not have any problems with your machine. NIFL is currently working on options to block this type of spam, and I will get back with you soon with an update. Thanks for your patience, Jackie Jackie Taylor, NIFL-AALPD List Moderator, jataylor@utk.edu
