Michael,
In the past few days, a number of coincidental things may have occurred to make you
think you are being directly targeted. I submit to you sir, that you are just the
victim of random violence.
As proof of intentional harm on the part of J. Gense, you submit that you keep getting
attachments that have different names. To you, this means that he is deliberately
trying to trick you into opening the attachments. However, this particular email virus
is known to change its name on its own accord to one of the following names:
Pics.ZIP.scr
images.pif
README.TXT.pif
New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr
news_doc.scr
hamster.ZIP.scr
YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif
searchURL.scr
SETUP.pif
Card.pif
Me_nude.AVI.pif
Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif
s3msong.MP3.pif
docs.scr
Humor.TXT.pif
fun.pif
Therefore, it's far more likely that J. Gense has no idea that he is infected with a
virus that is constantly sending copies of itself every time he receives a new email
message in his mail program.
