Hi Desiree -
Good to hear that your system is clean.
The IP address on the mails, btw, is not yours... belongs to someone else on this list (we have several members here from Holland and i privately wrote the person who uses that IP address), but if you and i have been receiving the mails, probably everyone should update and scan just to be safe.
And sometimes a2 and stinger detect things that avg and norton or mcafee do not - at least they both have for me in the past.
Also, i ran SpyBot last night and found loads new adware programs. The adware almost seems more troublesome to me that the viruses/trojans because of the way they spy on our personal details. My personal details are boring and people are welcome to them if they insist... these programs, though, significantly slow down our computers and cause them to crash. I don't like it one bit.
Good luck with your sound card and Skype for Linux if you feel like trying that.
love and peace,
joyce

I just had an undeliverable message too from a message I did not send. I
did not open the attachment of course.
I have updated AVG and run a full scan today, only a few hours ago and
there were no virusses found.
Also I just started using a new mail programm (Morzilla Thunderbird) in
windows, and there is hardly anybody in my adressbook there yet.
Love,
Desi
