[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- >From: "Tom Pearson" Subject: Important Info For R.A.W. Membership-PLEASE READ Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 3:34 AM Dear R.A.W. Member, The internet has seen a number of new virus outbreaks in the last few weeks. Because many of RAW's members network with one another via e-mail, there is one virus in particular (called the 'Swen' virus... also known as Worm.Automat.AHB) that has become particularly troublesome within the RAW community. The 'Swen' virus is a mass e-mailing 'worm' which affects computers using Windows operating systems. If you have up-to-date anti-virus software you are probably safe but, because this virus attempts to kill anti-virus and security programs on a computer, it would be a good idea to run the Swen virus removal tool anyway. The 'Swen' virus affects the following operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP The 'Swen' virus does NOT affect: DOS, Linux, Macintosh, Microsoft IIS, OS/2, UNIX, Windows 3.x You can find the removal tool at: http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.removal.tool.html (For Windows Me and XP users, you must disable your System Restore. Full instruction are available on the above-noted webpage) Please see the following for more information on the 'Swen' virus, taken directly from www.SARC.com : W32.Swen.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to spread itself. It attempts to spread through file-sharing networks, such as KaZaA and IRC, and attempts to kill antivirus and personal firewall programs running on a computer. The worm can arrive as an email attachment. The subject, body, and From: address of the email may vary. Some examples claim to be patches for Microsoft Internet Explorer, or delivery failure notices from qmail. This worm exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express in an attempt to execute itself when you open or even preview the message. Information and a patch for the vulnerability can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp.

And guess what night they are playing: MONDAY NIGHT! "Do you know the way" Dubwize finally in San Jose! Fans from San Jose have been coming to Dubwize concerts in Santa Cruz, Salinas Valley, San Francisco, Berkeley and even the Sierras. Finally, Dubwize is playing in San Jose. If we get a good turnout, Waves will open their doors to Dubwize on a regular basis, so please come from Salinas Valley, Santa Cruz, San Francisco and East Bay, to jump start this location for the San Jose faithful. Waves is a very cool old building and people, including musicians, say it has a great sound system and a great vibe for a concert and a good time. And there is nothing like "The first time", so come on out and be part of this first visit to Waves by Dubwize. And please come early so the "Window shoppers" will see an early crowd and come in and join us. See you there! DUBWIZE IN NEW VENUE IN BELMONT (between San Jose and San Francisco) DUB/FX invites Dubwize to share the bill at CHRIS' NEW HARBOR in Belmont Saturday Night, October 18. This place has personality oozing out of the walls, and George, the guy who runs the place is the absolute biggest reggae fan in the world and the most conscientious and supportive guy that we have ever met. Please come by and meet George ...and enjoy some reggae music while you are there. DUB/FX is fine, every time! SHOW REPORT - YELLOWMAN and DUBWIZE Yellow Man danced and ran and jumped and sang and performed for 100 minutes and it was awesome to see. He has been doing it since the 1970's and it is absolutely amazing that he is still going strong. No physical fitness nut in their 20's could have kept up with him on stage, and that is not even mentioning his dancing and singing talent. What a professional, what a show! Dubwize opened with two additional guest musicians (from the UK, and Puerto Rico) adding a second trombone and a second percussion player and again Dubwize surprised the people who had not yet seen them and redefined the pleasure that can be achieved through music by those who had come to see them. Please join us live and at dubwizemusic.com Things are going so well for Dubwize, but be assured that we have not forgotten those who are suffering. Peace is a way of life, not the time between wars. Love to everyone and especially to those who have suffered under the fancy words of world leaders as the leader's actions demonstrate their absolutely selfish, brutal, unconscious, abusive hypocritical activities for personal financial and power gain. Give care, peace. *********************************************************************** In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty Forward the Reggae Vibe...Every Time !
