This goes for ANY YAHOO GROUP right now.<P>The yahoo servers seem to have a virus attached to them right now. I do not know how long it will take them to fix it.<P>This virus is VERY tricky. When it hits your computer, it will pop up a WINDOWS security window. And trust me, it looks EXACTLY like a microsoft windows message. I almost fell for it. It will tell you that you need to run/install a virus scan and if you click ok, it will start to download a virus into your computer. It is VERY OFFICIAL looking, so please do not be fooled by this.<P>If you get a message like that, you need to completely turn off your computer. Don't click anything. Just cut the power supply. Then you can reboot and you need to do a FULL virus scan.<P>This appears to only be happening when people are checking the messages by going to each groups homepage and it appears to only be happening at random.<P>So for a while, until we can know they have it fixed, DO NOT check messages from the homepage. Just read them through you regular email and you should be fine."<P><P><P><BR><a style="color: #6633CC; font-family: helvetica; font-size:12px;"><i><b>We live in the Land of the Free only because of the Brave!</i></a><P><p style="color: #CC0033; font-family: helvetica; font-size:12px;"><i><b>Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username.
