I also get this virus, although even more frequently. Since I also
frequent the choralist newsgroup and a specific warning came from
that source, I assumed it came from that list. But you are right,
this virus comes to specificly my address.
I occasionally get spam; however, this is never directed to me directly
but to the group members of the LAN. I assumed that somebody clicked on
a wrong button.

Filters are the only solution. However, this is some work, because it is
not so easy: the virus comes with different subject data.
Since I work with Linux, there is no direct danger in my case.
