[AT] Viruses.

Hi Spencer.  The message I got was just a message with no attachment.  I
guess my legion of virus soldiers knocked the attachment out.

Thanks for your continual good work

Charlie

Obviously these are from folks with the virus who have an atis.net address
in their address book and not from me and normally I trust all of you to
know this and to not to open attachments and to be sure to use virus
scanning software, etc.   However, these messages look especially official
and a couple of people have already complained.   I do NOT send these
messages nor do any of the other users here at Piedmont Systems.   After my
signature are the text of the messages.   The text appears to be somewhat
variable but the two examples below should give you a rough idea of what to
expect.
