Do not open any email that contains an attachment. One or several of our members has an infected computer that spoofs email addresses obtained on the members computer. I've gotten over 40 of these in the past hour (most which appeared to come from a POA members address book) and had a .zip file attached. The worm is called W32.Netsky.B@mm . |

It'seasy enough to check your computer. Just click on the link in Mike's post above and download the fix patch! It will scan all your files for the virus/worm. |

Noticed that these files (got 5 of them today) are all about 48k.... 2 of the 5 I got were from POA members also. I subscribe to Norton AV (symantec)... so this one's already taken care of here.... Some of you, by the way, I sent an email to just now...if it's not in the 48k range, please open it... ... it is addy line "do what you think is best..." about making 9/11 a National Firefighters Day. Lookin' for 250 signatures to a petition.... Thanks
