Exclamation **** VIRUS ALERT - TROJ_NIMDA.A - PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY ****

Please be aware that there is a new computer virus out there with potentially bad results. Assuming Norton Anti-virus, if you have definitions dated 9/18/01 then you are protected. If your virus definitions are earlier than this, you are not protected.

From the Symantec site:
Users visiting compromised Web servers will be prompted to download an .eml (Outlook Express) email file, which contains the worm as an attachment.

If you are visiting a Web site and you are prompted to download anything, do not do so unless you have the up to date definitions AND you need to download something. If you just visit a site and it prompts you to download without you requesting it, DO NOT download it!

The servers that operate this site ARE NOT impacted by this work and ARE NOT capable of spreading it so there is no worry from this site....

Thanks,
John
