People-
Bibb just called me to say she won't be making the Lib game tonight because she has to stay at work to fight off some kind of email/internet worm/virus...i don't know. she didn't know. but we thought we should warn you anyway. Make sure your antivirus, spyware, firewall, whatever are up to date and make sure you've backed up recently, just in case.

hopefully it's not as bad as it sounds.

I thought the Macs were virus-proof.

while i can get on - thanks for spreading the news, tp - you've prolly seen in on the news now. it has hit from coast to coast, and it seems to be coming back like a bad, well, virus, even after cleaners and patches are run. reports indicate it's zotob, but this one's so insidious it's hard to tell. just be on your toes, and even if your anti-virus software quarantines something and you delete it, stay on your toes for a return. it may not be coming via email - in other words, as an attachment. this is a good night to turn your pc off when you're done with it and/or push the little button on your internet device and cut off the traffic.

go, liberty!
