ES - virus warning - from ListAdmin

[Paul Mitchell]

Galen here...

The reason that virus warnings aren't welcome on
the Elfsea list is simple.  Most virus warnings
circulating on the internet are completely bogus.

However, this is real.  If you receive a message
that appears to be from HL Gilli, and it has an
attachment called "panther.exe", delete it.  It
is a virus, and it's not from Gilli.  He posted 
notes to the Ansteorra and Central Region lists
about this.  Our own Lady Arfan has already received
such a note; she checked with Gilli and deleted
it unopened.  The virus will not affect you if
you do not run the .exe file.

Thanks to Gilli and Arfan for passing on this
info.
