Attention Ohio librarians -

Please be aware that there is a dangerous new e-mail worm spreading across =
the Internet.  It's called Zotob.B and several Ohio libraries have already =
been hit with it. =20

To help prevent the worm from spreading to other libraries, the OPLIN =
Support Center is requesting that you please update the Windows operating =
system, as well as any virus protection software, on every networked =
computer in your building.=20

Effective immediately, the OPLIN Support Center will begin blocking any =
offending IP addresses, as per the OPLIN Good Neighbor Policy.  You can =
read about this policy at http://www.oplin.org/page.php?Id=3D62-5-335-1263-=
