Turns out to be the W32/SirCam Virus.  I'm surprised none of you are
getting hit.  I've recieved over 20mb worth of it in the past 3 days.

But since it's apparently a general virus rather than a specific attack
on me,

I've received it, the extension is deceptive with a name.doc.bat 
handle.  Clearly it is grabbing names out of various folks email
address books.

In asking for advice I did what I knew would be useless, and replied:

"Never open executables sent by email, even allegedly by friends."

I offer that same advice.  Again this has a "bat" extension.

Heh I just collect 'em... I've gotten about a dozen over the last year, and
they all sit (unopened!) in a folder in my email called "Worms."  Is there a
better option? :-)

For sure. I never opened any of it.

> I offer that same advice.  Again this has a "bat" extension.

Actually the give away is not .bat, but a double extension such as
.doc.bat with the final extension being .bat, .lnk, .com, .exe, .pif,
etc.  Also the attatchment has the same name as the subject line of the
message.

Apparently this one is a bit harder than usual for virus-cleaners to
spot because it hides itself in the recycle bin. (yes it is an "MS
virus", even though that is redundant to say)

Message-ID: <NEBBJEJDOJKNMNOFCBEAAEBODFAA.robb@empire2.com>

So I'm setting up a Linux/Oracle server, and it turns out that SuSE is the
*only* approved distro for that combination.

It doesn't break my heart to move away from RedHat, but since one can only
*purchase* SuSE in the latest vv, does anybody know where I can make the
purchase today?

TIA!

I bought SuSE 7.0 Personal (couldn't find Professional) out on East Powell
and 100th or so.  I can't remember the name of the shop, and I can't spend
the time to wade through qwestdex.com right now to look for it by address.
But, maybe you do.  I was also able to find it in Miami at a Barnes and
Nobles, maybe they sell it here as well?  Hate to support anyone but
Powell's Books, though, but since they don't sell it last time I checked...

Or, you could pop around to NW 23rd and I could lend you my CDs...

	Fry's Electronics in Wilsonville has suse 7.2 personal and
professional.

	I've been running suse for quite a while now, and am very happy
with it.

Don't let the BSA hear of that offer!  They're trying to tell us that
multi-user licenses have been revoked and we are finding the information
they provided to be all messed up...Three cheers for open-source!  (DOS one,
Perl two?  You guys probably don't knit...)
