Does that look familiar to anyone?  If so, and you use Outlook, you're 
today's lucky winner for a virus infection.  Please disconnect your computer 
from the Internet until you can fix the problem.

All the best,

David

Three more days, iirc it'll stop then...sigh.

BTW I thought of you the other day when I came across this item on AV spam:

http://www.attrition.org/security/rant/av-spammers.html

Usually we think of spam as advertising,  but really when it comes right down
to it, why else would an AV company make their software default to
autoresponding?  As the samples in the article illustrate, the name of the
vendor is right there in the email.  It's good advertising.

And I haven't seen it at all during the current worm attack, but back when
SOBIG was first out we actually got some returns that were complete with the
virus attached!  Now that should drum up the business for the AV's.

Best,

Jim
