This particular virus spoofs various email addresses in the infected system's inbox, causing delivery failure and virus infection notices to be sent back to the people whose addresses have been spoofed... my email box was flooded with 100's of these over the weekend, and I'm still digging out from it. Based on what I've seen thus far, the virus has chosen messages that were sent to the LML by both myself and Matt Happgood to resend in an attempt to replicate itself, and I suspect probably others, so be careful with attachments showing up with either of these email addresses in the "from" box. If you haven't embarked on a regularly scheduled virus sweep of your system, please do so immediately. Make sure you have the latest virus definitions for your particular anti-virus program and that you configure it to test all files, not just executables. Thanks for your time.
