lists.&nbsp;Since most people (like me) are on more than one list, viruses can
jump from </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>list to list. Greek Theology </FONT><FONT size=2>has been
threatened by the Kak.hta virus.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;virus was appearing in
several posts and infecting many computers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I was infected but was able to clean my system from the virus.
With this virus, it is not necessary to open any attachments to be
infected.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All that is required is simply *reading* the e-mail and it
begins the infection. It is security hole in Outlook. </FONT><FONT size=2>.
