Don't think so, though. I think it's very widespread. But I also think it's just newsgroups that they're trawling, because I'm not getting copies of the virus in any account except the one I've used for newsgroup postings. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracey Maule To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: newsgroups yes exactly, along with all the related messages from xtra and mdaemon   any newsgroup huh? damn   ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Wrigley To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 8:47 PM Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: newsgroups Any newsgroup posting will get you on the distribution list for 50-200 copies of Swen aka Gibe per day at the moment, it seems. They weigh in at 144 or 156K and claim to be from Microsoft or something similarly genuine-looking. Are those the ones you're getting? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracey Maule To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 2:10 PM Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: newsgroups have you been getting a lot of virus infected emails?  Im trying to narrow down the culprit for my 50 or so per day
