[Fwd: VIRUS ALERT - Zipped_files]

Hello Fellow P-Subbers,

This is a real virus alert.  It was serious enough to cause Boeing to
shut down its e-mail system for a day and had a similar impact on
Microsoft.  Go to the site and read more.

If you receive any ".exe" files in your mail DO NOT OPEN THEM! until
they have been scanned for viruses.

Carry on,
Dick Morrisson
