Good Gentles,

It has come to my attention that there is a trojan/worm making the rounds in
Ansteorra.  It comes as an attachment named (in this iteration)
FEITICEIRA_NUA.JPG.PIF.  Please note the extra ".pif" extension which is
what does the dirty work.  If you have received this file delete it
unopened.  Further details and fix instructions are available at:
http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.mtx.html
This worm alters system files and blocks connections to certain web sites.
So it may be necessary to download the fix file (~43kb) on another machine
and transfer it to the affected machine.  Please practice safe computing.
