[Libs-Or] Virus runs rampant

Dear Oregon Library folk,

You probably know that an email virus is going crazy right now, 
clogging up email boxes. This virus goes into your PC and sends out as 
many as 100 emails from your address book in 30 seconds. Eek!

Please be careful, and do not open up any attachments. If you want to 
send a legitimate email, please make a clear and descriptive subject 
line. All of the virus emails I have gotten today have subjects such as 
"error," "hi," "test," "hello," "mail delivery problem," or etc.. Many 
of them have been from legitimate OLA people's email addresses, so 
don't be surprised to see emails from people you trust, and be sure to 
check the subject line before opening.

Delete these emails immediately!

It is highly recommended that you get up-to-date virus software, and 
check out reputable news articles for more details. I am no expert.

Good luck.
