Dear subscribers,

Today I received 2 messages that sound as though they came to me from 
a NIFL-workplace subscriber. I've copied one of the messages 
(deleting the subscriber's information and the attachment), so you 
can see what the message included.

DO NOT open the attached files. I believe they are infected with a 
virus. Only open attachments that you expect. If you do not expect an 
attachment from someone, you should check with them before opening 
anything. The infected attachments often have odd endings, such as 
"scr" or "pif."

Here is one of the messages I received - which includes part of a 
list message, my name, a subscriber's name, and the suggestion to 
'Take a look to the attachment':
