I know me very well.  And I didn't send it out.  It was sent to* all of 
us* on the ABDX list and then forwarded with all of our names on it to 
other lists.  That is what a virus does and that is why you shouldn't 
open mysterious links.  But getting angry with me isn't useful.  I 
didn't do it.  I identified it as a virus and warned everyone.

What this really does is show that a lot of users are not keeping
up-to-date anti-virus software and malware protection running on their
computers at all times.  Having and using those can't keep you safe 100% of
the time, but they do a pretty good job.  You can lead a horse to water.

They're free nowadays.  Use them.

These things are hitting all of the hobby lists I am on, and I had one hit one 
of my accounts. There's not much you can do to avoid it besides not using email 
at all. That's not an option.

Maybe. And maybe not.

For the many of us who are using web-based email, and still get it hijacked, 
anti-virus software doesn't even come into play. In the case where one of mine 
was hit and sent junk to another list, that's what it was - all web-based, 
despite a hardware firewall, a software firewall and 3 different anti-malware 
programs actively running. None of that mattered because everything took place 
on the web - my account got hijacked.
