You did not get them via Clair - you joined that list much later than the
time the virus made it through.

Also - I've never seen 6 viruses loaded in one email, though technically
it's possible. The chances are you received the virus from a Clair member
who has your email address in their Inbox. That's how I receive them.

Just because it says [clair] in the subject does not mean it came from
Clair!

These kind of messages should go to clair-owner@-----.org, not to the
general list.
