Dear nfb list and IABS List members,
I don't know why this message isn't sending so I trying this one more 
time.
This is about something very important that has come to my attention.  
This is not a forwarded message.  Here is what I tried to send earlier 
today.
Dear List members and friends,
I am writing to you all to inform you about a new computer virus that 
is going around. It is a very nasty virus and you should all take 
precautions and be very careful. There is no fix for this virus. This 
virus messes with your computer software, namely executable files. When 
you are infected with this nasty piece of work, any program you try to 
open such as Microsoft word, Internet Explorer, Firefox, winamp.... Any 
program you normally run on your computer for work or entertainment 
will immediately tell you that it is not able to open and that it has 
been infected. Avast Antivirus will ask you what you want to do with 
this corrupted/damaged/nonworking file. Unfortunately once you have 
this virus you will not be able to get rid of it, even Avast will only 
be able to quarrantine it but the damage has been done. Your mp3 and 
doc and txt files will not be hurt. Only your executable programs and 
any programs that run your operating system. This is how you get this 
virus, so be very careful........ If you are searching for sites that 
will let you watch or download movies for free and they are not 
refutable sites like youTube or Netflix LEAVE THOSE SITES IMMEDIATELY. 
Those sites will ask you to install some sort of codec to be able to 
watch a movie or video on their site. DON'T DO IT. If you have kids, 
please monitor their computer activities because in many cases, kids 
don't realize what types of sites they're clicking on. And yes, Avast 
and Norton will catch this but by then your programs are messed up and 
your computer will need some serious maintenance to get it working 
again. Even the antivirus software on your computer is vulnerable to be 
infected but it is an .EXE file. So be very careful and vigilant of the 
sites you visit. For more information on this nasty virus, please visit

Or you can listen to Web Site Wednesday night from 11 Pm Central to 
2:00 A.m on WGN Am 720. If you are out of Chicago, you can tune in 
online by going to their website. http://www.wgnradio.com
Thanks. I hope this was informative and helpful.
