[F500] Someone's on the list has a virus....

[dogill80 at charter.net]

Eric (all),

I have a LinkSys router with built in firewall as well as Norton Antivirus
on my computer.  Although some get through the firewall, Norton has (knock
on wood just above the ear) trapped them all.

Today I got a different twist.  The indicated email was my service provider
(charter.net) and it told me that my email was being "suspended due to
unauthorized use.  For add'l information, please the attachment (*.zip)"
which was a virus that Norton was able to remove.  I called Charter
Communications.  As a policy, they do not communicate with their internet
customers via eMail other than to send blanket advertisements.

Caveat Emptor
