list via an attachment, which was stripped off because the list doesn't allow attachments- for obvious reasons.

I'm sure that's right Bob, just another virus in disguise - I don't think there's any such address as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Not sure how it sneaked its way in here. As you say, virus stripped off by the system before distribution, no harm done.

We've had them before, posing as various list members, but the virus always gets stripped off.

There are about 70 million computers spewing out these things all the time and their owners don't even know it. All for the sake of spam. What's the point? Does spam ever sell anything? I find it hard to believe, but I suppose it must do.

Hey Chico;

I got one too. Same message, same password. I am certain that an explanation is forthcoming. In the meantime, my anti-hack software picked up an "unidentified" attacker and blocked it. I ran a couple of extra spyware applications and they turned up nothing so it may just be nothing or it's our old "friends" up to shenanigans, but I wouldn't worry just yet.
