Elementary (Lowell) has asked me to inform the forum that he is trying to fix the viruses that came from some of the indices he posted recently. I'm not very technically adept when it comes to computers so perhaps one of you can contact him and offer some advice as he is not sure where the viruses reside (nor do I). It is a possibility that Macs are unaffected (I have a PC) but he isn't sure.
This is a valuable resource that he and others have worked on and I'd love to see it where we all could use it. Again, any help you could offer him would be appreciated.

I'm still skeptical that the PDF documents are the source of the infection. It's much more likely that the virus is being transmitted through the file sharing site.

You're both way over my head. Howsabout dropping him a PM and offer to help? All of us who are affected would be very grateful.

Hey Sheltie...If you see Lowell let him know that I do not believe it was the files that were shared ...I too think it was the share site....I kept the files after I downloaded them and they are clean...It was something else that was there...I am working on another file share site to see about the downloads and I will see what happens tomorrow when I get home from work ..I have a temp link in another post but I am not too fond of it...Tell him to Pm me his phone # and I will call him and give him the details....Thanks... John
