The viruses of today MIMIC other people's addresses, so just because it appeared to come from Randy Stokes doesn't mean his computer actually sent it.

It's the latest attempt to get people to try to open the attachments, figuring if it appears to come from somebody you know you are more likely to just double-click on the attachments without giving things another thought.

I've gotten viruses sent TO me apparently from some weird address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is not a valid e-mail address from my server.

So I would give Randy the benefit of the doubt and guess that the virus came from somebody else's machine which happened to have his address in their address book.

Today I received a message from Randy Stokes. Not a personal one, no, but

The problem is serious when you see that even professionals got viruses and
let them spread.

I am glad I am on a Mac.
