Stovers:
    I am afraid that I may hve been responsible for sending some of you a
virus.  It is known by various names that include the letters "KAK".  I
presume I received it within the last few days.  The "Norton" website says
it was first discovered on Dec. 30, 1999 and is only transferred if you use
"Outlook Express" (which I have been using now for about 3 weeks).  It comes
through the "signature" feature - not through attachments.

    I would not normally send this to this list - except you must have
already gotten it, if you were going to get it.  I went to a microsoft site
recommended by Norton, and have installed  a fix..  However, I have not yet
understood everything about this virus and probably have another several
hours to make sure I have done all the right things.

    Messages like Tom's have come in from three other web servers.

   The other thing I learned is that the virus announces itself on the first
of every month at 5:00 PM.  Better try to watch out for this at least on
that day.  Better is to look up the Norton (or other) site and look for
"Kak"

    Sorry for causing problems.  Tomorrow I add a service ($1.50 per month)
to keep these out of my incoming mail.

    Tom (and others).  Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Ron
