Long story short: a SoBig.F infected system will send out emails to everybody in the address book (it may also scan IE's cache for email addresses), setting the From: header on the email to other random addresses on the infected system. So someone who has you in their address book is infected. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.
