Let's suppose a group of workers regularly communicate with the same, or different, people at work. The address books of these people at home will contain many address for people at work. A 'home' user gets a virus and it is sent out to others, but it 'spoofs' the work addresses in the book. On quick examination it would look as though these were sent from 'work' because of the spoofing, but the virus is on a home computer. In the M$ world, the address book is NOT your friend, and should be BLANK. Do we know, from actual virus scans, that the work machines are virus-ridden? If true, then someone there is NOT doing a good job. Also, who uses Panda AV? It might be a clue as to who has it. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
