Default Virus Warning

Tom,

Thanks! Just trying to get a warning out.

My security systems are pretty tight which makes me confident that it didn't
come from here. I also have an anti-spam name in my address book that would
give me a warning that a virus had tried to send an email from here.

the virus puts a fake/spoofed reply to addresses on the emails it sends
out. It can get the addresses from the actual infected users address book
or other vulnerable computers it can reach - it almost definitely didn't
come from the person shown in the reply to address or if you receive such

a
notification (indicating you sent it) it wasn't you that sent it.

Notice to all - I just got a return on an email (that I didn't send)

that
it
contained the SoBig virus.

Our computers here have tight virus control, and I double checked for

any
virus. So it couldn't have come from here (?)

Recommend that if you have my name in your address book that you check

for
the virus.

Sorry for the bad news...
