For those of us who don't know, and to prevent another general
hysterical confusion of followups to this ridiculously crossposted
thread, I would like to mention a few FACTS:

 - The "Concept" virus is a Microsoft Word macro virus.
 - You cannot get "infected" by this virus unless you save a document
which contains it and then open it in MS Word.
 - There is supposedly a similar virus which infects Wordperfect
documents.
 - You CANNOT get infected by any virus simply from reading your news or
email!

Thanks for listening.
