Fellow ChDs:
I thought we had dropped the endless virus (worm) warnings on this list. If
I'm mistaken, then a note like this one from McAfee would suffice:
Virus Profile
McAfee.com : Support : Virus Information Center
Virus Name
W32/ExploreZip.worm
(Note: Technically this is a worm and not a virus.)
Date Added
6/10/99
Virus Characteristics
Drops the file explore.exe, modifies WIN.INI with
run=c:\windows\system\explore.exe
The worms in my raised beds aren't nearly as worrisome and despite one 42
degree night (vs Byron's 38 degree) not a single blossom has dropped - yet.
The organics will be pleased that I think fish emulsion is helping the
peppers fight off the chilly nights, the chemists should know that I'm most
pleased with half strength MiracleGro Bloom Booster (10-52-10), not to be
confused with regular MiracleGro which Byron and I believe adds too much
nitrogen, for most locations.
