Re Makoto's 7759: Caution on virus > According to our University Virus check system, your file attached to [OPE-L:4540] is infected by virus 'W32.Bugbear@mm'. a) 4540 was posted by Fred on November 20, 2000. b) The post containing a virus allegedly sent by Paul C numbered 4551 was originally sent on November 21, 2000 (this is the post that Rakesh warned against in 7753). Putting a + b together it seems as if some person or persons is trying to infect the computers of OPE-L members. Consequently, it looks like *we are under political attack*. A short-term solution is to *CHECK THE OPE-L ID NUMBERS OF THE POSTS YOU RECEIVE AND IF ANY ARE WAY OUT OF SEQUENCE THEN DELETE THE MESSAGES*. NB: the new (infected) versions of 4540 and 4551 were NOT POSTED but were sent to individual subscribers. In other words, they _look like_ they are OPE-L posts but were sent instead by some person or persons unknown. I suspect that whoever is responsible would like nothing better than for us to cease our discussions. We can not give her/ him that victory. The discussions must continue! In solidarity, Jerry
