Well guess what I just received from Peter! Don't open any attachments from
him, he is definitely infected!!!!!
Like I said, the virus is sent to individuals not through the list. Make
sure you are using a virus scanner. Funny that hotmail did not catch it the
last time.
Look at the result of the files sent from Peter.
"Hotmail automatically scans all attachments for viruses using McAfee. Click
on the Download File button to download the attachment to your computer, or
click Cancel to return to the message.
Name of File Virus Scan Result
DOCS.DOC.pif W32/BadTrans@MM Virus Found
There is no cure available for the virus on the file DOCS.DOC.pif
It is not possible to download files from Hotmail that contain incurable
viruses. Contact the originator of the file, inform them that the file
contains a virus, and ask them to send a virus-free version of the file."
