This is interesting news. I wondered where two of the virus messages that I
got were sent from. I blamed it on my nephew, but now I suspect it came from
someone on a list since I received a direct message from someone. I received
the HaHaHa message on Wed. Dec. 6, with attachment and then on Thursday Dec.
7, with the actual attachment not present. This is probably because it was
removed by the list criteria of not accepting attachments. I would like to
know if anyone did open the attachment and now suspects they have the virus.
I was waiting for someone on any of the three mailing lists I subscribe to
mention the virus and this is the first incident.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Virus from e-mail
Hi list,
Does anybody have a good way to trace an email? I was sent two different
mails days apart, one with a .scr and one with a .exe extension that both
were a virus. Natch I didn't open the attachments. I tried to trace the
address using SamSpade, but apparently it couldn't find the sender, which
was [log in to unmask] I'm using Outlook 2000. Needless to say, should
anyone get something from this address, err, I wouldn't open it.
