Kerry Reference Library--Warning Re Possible Virus
As it is likely many of the people here are registered at the Kerry Reference Library, I thought I'd also post this here:

Earlier today someone managed to send out an unauthorized email to everyone registered with the Kerry Reference Library. This email includes a link which appears to be an executable file. DO NOT CLICK ON THE "PLEASE CLICK" LINK. While I do not know what this will do, something distributed in this manner is most likely either adware or a virus.

Since I sent out the warning I've contacted tech support and found that there are "exploitable security risks" in the version of the forum software I have. An upgrade is being installed which they say will prevent this.

For those who aren't members, the Kerry Reference Library has about 3000 articles on Kerry, Bush, the issues, and I've recently started adding articles on the potential 2008 candidates from each party. It is at:
http://kerrylibrary.invisionzone.com/

Needless to say, if you join and happen to get any emails from there (or any other forum) with an executable file, do not click on it.
