No virus detection on my end.  I've got Norton AV with the 8/5/01 virus list.  Can you tell me the subject lines of the problematic messages?

Will ps show viruses running Russell?

"ps" will show all running programs (assuming you provide it the proper command line argument(s)), but not necessarily all of the threads of all of
the programs.  Of course, the sibling threads of the program must all be running parts of the same program (making the creation of a thread-only
virus rather impossible).  In short, yes.

It is theoretically possible to cram a virus into the kernel program space and hide it from "ps", assuming the root account could be compromised.
I consider myself an expert computer programmer, and I don't think *I* could do it.  So unless there's some Lex Luthor master virus writer out
there bent on making such a Linux virus, I think you're safe.  :-)

What is usernet?

I dunno.  If you meant "Usenet", it's the historical name for the newsgroups (rec.aviation.homebuilt, etc.)

I figured it out by killing it and re launching it.

Its RH's name for RH Network Monitor. BTW is the red the outgoing stuff
RH Network Monitor is running?
