It's fairly easy to avoid - don't open things you might think are viruses.
You should know most of the regular members by now; treat anything 'new'
with suspicion.

****-poor advice (as usual) from Melbourne's
only two-legged virus, Alma Irksome.

The best way to get the disease of the week
is to heed this moron's avoidance advice.

Irksome, just STFU.

I am using Outlook Express. I wrote a message rule to delete anything with
..avi in the subject line.

Seems to be working

According to Avira AntiVir they are screensaver files containing a
trojan. As any dog owner can tell you, it's up to you to watch where
you step.

Their customer's may not rebel, but the rest of us can. If everyone sent
complaints to Usenetserver, it might overwhelm them.

Alan-me-lad, have you contacted Newsguy about my 'forged' headers yet?

Didn't think so.

Boyz'n'grrls, please note that Alan-me-lad is fond of making proclamations...
and never, ever, putting his money where his big fat mouth has been. Follow
his advice at your own risk.

xnews has the ability to filter via suject matter such as *.avi*
Only problem is being a binaries group some posters will post legi avi
files so being on guard for these post requires all due diligence
