Message-ID: <931220211647_100020.1013_BHB46-3@CompuServe.COM> Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1620 Status: RO *** VIRUS ALERT *** [Feel free to repost as necessary] We have just received a warning by fax from Bob Zanotti of Swiss Radio International that the computer diskette containing the latest ILG (International Listening Guide) database produced by Bernd Friedewald in Germany contained a ParB virus. Bernd Friedewald has been alerted of the problem, and considering Bernd's good reputation there is no evidence of the fact that the diskette might have been intentionally contaminated. Given the extremely fast service of the Swiss Postal Administration, there are reasons to believe that Bob Zanotti could have been one of the first to receive the diskette, and first to discover the problem. Hope this message get to you on time to take all necessary measures. You have been warned! (e.g. DO NOT attempt to either read, or write on the diskette, unless you are sure that you got a good copy, or you know how to deal with computer viruses. Contact your nearest computer expert or system administrator for advice or Bernd Friedewald to know if yours is a good copy. In any case it is always a good practice to check every "unknown" diskette with a most recent anti-virus program before using it) Thanks to Bob Zanotti for the alert! -- Alfredo E.
