[Rhodes22-list] SPYWARE ON OLD RHODES LIST

[Ed Kroposki]

ALL:
         Recently I have had a couple of problems with my computer.  And my
local access provider has had some also.  Yesterday, I installed a firewall.
This morning I found out that that the old sailnet has some sort of tracking
verification software program in it.
         I went open the Sailnet announcement about their relocation and up
flashed a intrusion warning.  Then I opened Roger's forward about JSI Sails
and again I got an intrusion warning.
         Is anybody else monitoring intrusions?
         Just so everyone is aware of the possibilities.
