Your AOL address was in someone's address book. The worm is using that address as a spoofed From: address. The spam mail headers indicate that the source is probably a machine on gte.net somewhere in or near LA.
You're clean.
Which idiotic conclusions are you referring to?
BTW, your "state of the art computer techs" should have been savvy enough to tell you what's going on. Every sysadmin under the sun has seen these worms and understands how they work. You're not paying them for support, are you? If so, you're not getting your money's worth. :-)

Hey guys,
I have watched all this nonsense for weeks now. Someone would have to explain how coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] you are getting these idiotic conclusions. Although I check almost every transmission to and from Shoptalk I have not responded or contacted anyone from this email address for forever. A lot of times I check it from [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is my work address.
If anyone can explain it let me know. I have students here at DBCC who are state of the art computer techs that have checked this computer for viruses several times in the last few weeks. It is protected by the newest and most updated Norton. Wonder if any of you computer geniuses knows that the new viruses attack and turn off your protector first - thats why I have avast! (both the virus recovery editor and the on access scanner) also so that I can find out if the protector is still working. Ok boys what say??
Inkind,
