I got E-Mail from emonahan contained a virus, This it not the first time, I hope not from Ed Monahan see the copy below:

There is screen it out by Norton Antivirus.

Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.
Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.
You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.
If you have any question,please

While I don't know technically how this happens, these are not actually coming from POA members. I got one last week that was supposed to be from Judy K. It was not. Others have received them from me that I did not send.

I just received 6 of them, several from POA addresses but I know they did not send them. My computer is clean, I Promise. My Norton is finally working properly.

Hi Ed,

I know that , but I just want you to be aware of it, we should have Norton System Work, McAfee, or other antivirus programs install.

One more thing we should do, have a either hardweare such as Linksys or software FIRE WALL install on computer and change password every 3-6 months. I have a problem on e-Bay one once, some one got my pass word went ion my account changed E-Mail address, pass word then start listed hundred of items on my account took the money and ran took e-Bay more than 48 hours before stop them.

Another option to Norton, McAfee, ... (and I say this somewhat "tongue in cheek") is to buy a Mac! Although not immune to virus attacks, they certainly aren't susceptible to to the wide range of Windows viruses circulating. (I'm posted from my Power Mac G4 running Mac OS X 10.2.3.)

I too have received the virus with POA member names. The latest came from Gary C on a couple of occasions and Monahan. Certainly these guys have no responsibility for sending this but thankfully my Norton checks mail coming in and going out.
