Sorry for the annoyance of a virus warning, but due to its source and
involvement with images I thought I'd err on the side of preventative
caution. This came directly from our IT support folks - they are
competent to send out the warning.
Cheers for a virus (of all kinds) free holiday. (One more week of
classes and counting!)

Please be aware of a new Outlook virus discovered Nov. 30th that
is starting to spread...
W32/ProLin@MM is an Internet worm that spreads via email.
The email comes with an attachment named CREATIVE.EXE,
which carries the icon of a Shockwave Media Player application.
You may receive the email in this format:
Subject = A great Shockwave flash movie
Body = Check out this new flash movie that I
downloaded just now ... It's Great Bye
Attachment = creative.exe
PLEASE DO NOT RUN THE ATTACHMENT!
If you run CREATIVE.EXE, it finds and alters all .JPG and .ZIP files
on your system and forwards a copy of itself to everyone in your
email address book.
