<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just a little FYI on this virus. It DOES
NOT use the email address of the infected machine to send out emails. It
sends them out using random email addresses found on the users machine.
What does that mean in English? If your anti-virus software sends a
notice to the sender of a virus (like yours did here Arthur), you are
notifying the wrong person. We have gotten tons of these notices,
because our employee's email addresses are being spoofed by this
virus!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To actually determine what is sending out these
emails, look at the header info of the email. That will give you the
machine name and IP Address of the computer sending out the viruses. Get
the WhoIS information for that IP Address, and notify the Abuse or Tech person
for that IP Address. It may help them if you include a copy of the
header information.</FONT></DIV>
