[BC] Facebook virus

[Barry Mishkind]

Generally, what happens is that someone gets a virus.
The virus reads their address book.
The really nasty viruses then use their address to send
to everyone in the address book.

It is one of the reasons that I have generally stayed away
from Outlook. Eudora is much less susceptible to that
sort of garbage ... although I work hard to make sure I
do not get any nasties in the first place.

One interesting thing about this was at the bottom was a list of others (including several from this list) who I "might know".  Some I did know (or knew of), other names were unfamiliar.  I know better to click on links in unsolicited emails.
