Posted with McLisa's kind permission.

Dear Fellow List Members,

I'm delurking for a moment to offer a bit of help. Like you probably have,
I received many warnings from well meaning people regarding the VBSLove
Letter worm and all of its variants. Most emails I got just said to be
careful, but said nothing about how to do that.  Only two gave me some
advice, and neither of these letters covered 'all the bases' so to speak..

That made me think that there might be other people besides me who
appreciated being warned, but weren't told what steps to take to protect
their computers. (My very non-techie sister comes to mind.<g>)   To remedy
this, I wrote a letter to family, friends, and a few other lists detailing
what they can do to help prevent being infected by the latest bug to hit
town.  I have URLs for free trial versions of big name antivirus software,
info about protecting your email program, and  a URL that is especially
important to IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Users about how not to pick up the
bug through there.

If this is something you would be interested in, let me know.  Please drop
me a line at teresitatazon@n....... .  I'll be out this evening
(Saturday, May 06, 2000), so I'll start answering requests first thing in
the morning.  Btw, I'm on the West Coast (USA), so 'first thing' may seem a
bit late to some of you.  <BVG>

Yours in FK,

Yes! This is perfect. And I think it would appeal to LC's sense of humor.

Bring 'em back alive!

Yes, but I find appealing the explanation that various writers have given
that "LaCroix" is related to the fact that he had a predeliction for
employing that means of "correction."  BWA HA Ha ha!
