FWIW:
the latest series of virus out there, makes up its own return
address's, using address that it finds in the infected computers
address book. it also can change the payload file name or type.
Best defense is to get a good virus protection program for
your computer and keep it updated often, if your virus
profiles are over a week old, you are at risk.
virus can be kept in check, but its an on going fight...
currently there are over 64,800 virus or variants looking
to get into your business...and more coming out each day..
While I was working, we checked for virus strings for our servers
3 times a day... and loaded them anytime there was a change...
