    Also please note than numerous other DESI associates have been infected.

    Robert and I are both working on cleaning up the accounts we are each
    responsible for.

    I cannot emphasise enough how important it is for DESI associates to do
    the following:

    	a) Install McAfee
    	b) Keep your McAfee virus definition files updated
    	c) Ensure that your McAfee is configured to scan your emails and
    email attachments
    	d) Exercise common sense when downloading and installing
    attachments from suspicious emails.

    The infection we are seeing represents a failure do perform the above.
    If you feel you are unable to perform the above, please call myself or
    Robert.

    Take viruses seriously. This sort of incident is easily preventable.

    If you are infected, notify myself or Robert McDonald promptly. I agree
    with Robert that if you are unable to take prompt action, disconnect
    yourself from the network until your machine is inoculated, and call one
    of us.

    Thanks,

    A virus has been sent from Robert Diekmann via BugReport.  The email
    consist of the following:

    Body:
    	Election totals from all of the 184 voting stations used for the
    April 2nd election were both machine recounted and hand counted to
    insure the new electronic election system provided accurate results.

    votes counted.

    All roaming users please ensure you have the latest McAfee update to
    ensure the virus gets inoculated. If McAfee did not pick up the virus
    when you received it in your inbox, please download the latest update
    and run a manual scan on your system.  If you feel you have been
    infected, please discontinue your connection to the internet and give me
    a call in McKinney.
