Default VIRUS WARNING Stuf 4 post on comet!

On or about Tue, 18 Nov 2003 07:39:06 -0600, Pat Flannery
made the sensational claim that:
The message " 19th Cent. Image of Comet Tearing Earth Apart"
sent by Stuf 4 at 3:53 AM on November 18th contains a link to a site
about a moon history book by a Lewis Manson...DO NOT USE THAT LINK!
The site will download the W32.Nimda.A@mm(html) virus to your computer;
either when it is initially accessed, or when you attempt to navigate
the site.
This post may not even have been sent by Stuf 4, as I have him
killfiled- yet this post showed up on my sci.space.history newsgroup
despite that fact.
I'm going to try to use the clock reset trick to get this to appear
before the comet posting.


I suspect it's the server itself infected, not something inherent in the link.
I mean it's running IIS4, sheesh.
