Beware gentle readers for there is a virus about.  One reads in the
subject line Revival Animal Health Order...the one I got before that
read something to the effect of ...I can't beleive we made it.  Don't
open the attachments!

[Moderator's note: I received several requests from subscribers asking
if I would remind people about this latest "BugBear" computer virus.
 
Make no mistake -- this is a very nasty virus and apparently a few FMLers
are infected... well, their computers are infected.  In some cases, the
latest virus definition files are not enough to fully disinfect -- some
antivirus programs need updates too.
 
Please... run your virus disinfection programs.  Or get one if you don't
already have one -- at least if you're using Windows.
 
Here's a link to Symantec's report on the virus:

And a removal tool from Symantec:

And another subscriber forwarded this link to a news story about it:

Please remember that it's impossible to receive a virus via the FML,
though that doesn't mean someone with a virus can't send e-mail that
looks like it's ferret related -- or even looks like the FML!
 
Thanks for your vigilance.  BIG]
