Subject:unrequested attachments may contain virus From:Jim Lindsey <lindsey -at- ATCON -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 7 Nov 1956 12:17:34 -0400
Dear colleagues:
I think these unasked-for attachments that are being sent may contain a
virus. I realized this after reading on the list today that another
techwriter with a Mac had experienced crashes as a result of these
attachments. This happened to me too, and in fact it has caused damage
that I can't fix with Norton Utilities. When I try, Norton bombs. I did
get my Mac O/S up and running after the crash, but now the screen vibrates
in spasms every few minutes. It has quieted down somewhat since I trashed
the attachments. Also the occurrence of some of the sounds of the system
now are accompanied by loud electrical interference sounds like cheap
thunder.
Yours,
Jim
