Hello; this has been through a mailing list server so the original return path 
has been overwritten and the real author is probably not you... but... check 
that your virus scanning is up to par. You *OR* someone who has your email 
address in their book and is probably also a member of the Perth Linux User 
Group has a virus.

To avoid becoming a candidate yourself, use an email client like Mozilla 
(available for nix from http://www.mozilla.org/) which is much less prone 
than MS Outlook to being used as an attack tool.

If the information you deal with is extremely sensitive, you might also 
consider switching to OpenOffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org/) for your 
office documents to avoid macro viruses, and to a modern Linux distribution 
for your operating system platform to eliminate all other known viruses and 
worms. Mozilla and OpenOffice.org run under both Windows and Linux.

If you have any questions, the following local groups are in a position to 
help you out:

    http://plug.linux.org.au/ - Perth Linux Users Group
    http://slpwa.linux.org.au/ - Society of Linux Professionals (WA)
    http://www.cyberknights.com.au/ - My support company, a member of both.

Cheers; Leon
