I got this virus this morning from the mail list. Seems to be a weekly
thing.

Thanks,

Subject: Trouble Shooting a Virus

I checked my sent e-mails for 10/17/00 and the only message I responded to
that day with a copy to RP-ML was a message from vavoul@lms.mech.upatras.gr
who wrote: "I wonder if the techniques of RP have any application in the
defense industry?" and who signed himself as follows:
        Regards,
        Antonios Vavouliotis
        Research Assistant
        University of Patras

The virus containing attachment to my response might have somehow resulted
from my simply responding to Mr. Vavouliotis with copies to RP-ML.

The attachment was called Q1_test.exe, which reportedly contained the virus
w95.mtx.dr.

I did not knowingly send it.

Be on guard!

Best Regards,
