[ale] [OFFTOPIC] virus info

[Russell Enderby]

I have similar problems.  It appears the tri-state virus infects the 'blank
document' form that is used to show all documents.  Therefore everytime I
pull something into excel it gets infected.  The latest norton and mcaffee
do not detect the 'INFECTOR' but does detect the infected excel documents
and cleans them.

Very annoying.
