Important Virus Information

Unfortunately, at least one of our readers has been running a virus on their computer for many months which generates virus laden mail appearing to come from this site. The mail is directed to other addresses in their mail box, sometime using subjects which have already been used in previous correspondence, but sometimes with non-specific subjects like 'information' or 're: your document' and similar stuff.

Because many of us have similar contacts within the sporting world, and we are particularly well known to many, some recipients have believed this mail to be genuinely from us and are quite naturally complaining about receiving it. This is beginning to cause considerable difficulty both for ourselves and others.

Please note that we NEVER send out unsolicited mail unless it directly relates to a specific event, and we don't send mail to anyone without a subject which has a unique meaning at the time it was sent. If you receive a mail appearing to come from us which you are not expecting, or which seems to have a meaningless, non-specific, or obsolete subject in the context of the time you receive it, please assume it is one generated by a virus and not from us. If in doubt, DO NOT OPEN IT unless you have good virus protection in place.

Our own computers are all protected both at the service provider level and with virus checkers on every computer we use, but to try to limit the spread of these viruses and the potential damage they are causing us, can YOU please either ensure you have an up to date virus checker on your computer or, if not, delete any addresses to this site you may have stored in your address books.

Thanks.
