Sorry to bother the whole list but I suspect others got hit too. If you
get email seeming to be from support@-----.com, don't open any
attachments on it....

Someone in Australia that was connected at 21:24 GMT in 23 May to:

CPE-144-136-146-132.qld.bigpond.net.au

sent a binary, probably a virus to me. I can be quite sure that the only
way that anyone would have sent to this email address is if they had my
address from a posting to the Klarinet list.

>From the qld in the machine name and the fact that it went through a
router with Brisbane in the name, I'm guessing it's someone who dials in
from the Brisbane metro area.

So, if you're in Brisbane, you were logged on at the right time (and are
probably running a Microsoft computer), you may want to run a virus
check before you get online again.
