Interesting thing about this virus (besides the return email address) is
that the virus appears to be embedded in an Outlook style email message. I
keep getting blank email messages with the underscore in the return email
address. I found that my email program, Eudora, strips out stuff it doesn't
understand in the email message and puts it in a Eudora subdirectory -
Eudora\Embedded. So all these viruses get thrown in this directory along
with embedded background gifs. Now that I have updated my Norton antivirus
the whole email gets stopped and it detected these viruses in the subdirectory.
I know some of you use Eudora so you may want to clean out this Embedded
subdirectory.
