[DogParkList] New file uploaded to macloggerdx (((( ALERT )))) - TRASHES System

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

OK, my suggestion is for all those that have not seen this - there  
appears to be a file in the Yahoo group file list, but I don't at this  
point know which one.

This appears to have a bug that will cause it to attempt to delete a  
lot of files from your system, including the system. If you run with  
admin privs, which a lot of us do, it could badly damage your  
installation.

Just avoid it until we know more.

Jeff, if you ever get a moment, perhaps you could give me the URL to  
the file.
