I always read and post usenet articles on the Web (via Google or
news.interbulletin.com or dbforums or newsone.net) without any
specific Usenet Software or Server Access requirements and never get
near any attachments so wasn't aware that a virus could be spread
through UseNet. Is this a rare event? Maybe I'm naive - just like my
ex-girlfriend said I was. I don't fully understand how UseNet is
served but I'd have thought any server hosting UseNet should have top
notch AV?

Mike.

Unless an attachment to the Usenet message is downloaded and run, the virus cannot be spread..some variants of this
ubiquitous message have several attachments which are infected.( Technically with a trojan, not a virus)
( NOTE: Some newsreaders ( are you listening MIcrosoft ?) can be set, unwisely, to automatically open attachments - If yours
can do this, make sure it does not!!!)
