Paul there is a message coming to me from ACRE that I believe is a virus. Ask all members to check there machines. My anti virus protection picked it up and the server verified it as a virus. It came through 4 times.

Don it is possible to have a sequence of bytes in a gif or jpg that
can look like a virus to some virus checking programs. What virus
checking program are you using? Did the virus coincide with the
transmission of a jpg or gif?
