Hi all,

We've noticed that a number of mails to this group over the last week (all
those coming from cooleytmsteve, though that's no guarantee that this is the
actual source - I've seen copies of Bagle claiming to have been sent by me)
have included the Bagle virus as an attachment - nasty little beast, it is.

If you receive mails here in digest form, you won't have a problem.  If you
stay up to date with your virus definition updates, you won't have a problem
(there was a distinct period between Bagle existing and it arriving here).
If neither of these is true, you need to check out your system.

Symantec have information and a removal tool here:

In the meantime, though it is kind of locking the stable door after the
horse bolts, I've usurped control over this board and only I can post to it
for now.  If you want to talk about the Final Board (first turn this week),
do it at [email protected] instead.  Sorry for the inconvenience,
but we decided it was more convenient than cleaning up viruses. :)

Before signing up to that group, please make sure your system is Bagle-free.

On the plus side, my taking control of the board does give me somewhere that
I can put the map publicly, so people can stop asking me if I'm going to
have a web site for it :-D.

Cheers,
P
