Yesterday I was struck with the W32.Badtrans.B@mm virus via the FOT list.  
Not positive, but think it came from my friend Mr. Kastner (you might want to 
check, Kas).  Must be pretty fresh, as it was discovered by Symantec on 
11/24/01.  Fix is pretty simple.  You download the free fix file 
(FixBadtr.exefile) from their Website www.symantec.com, in their Security 
Response section.  

The message I got had an attachment that said, "YOU_are_FAT!"  Those of you 
who know me, know that hits pretty close to home, so...sure, I opened it.  
BOOM!  It flashed a "Thank You!" and I was infected.

Be on the alert.
