Jacob-
Searching my mail spool, the address you cite appears exactly once, in
your own message. (Spool June 24- present)
It does not appear on any of the regular list mail.
I deduce from this fact that the virus probably resides either on
owner-vnc-list's computer OR on the computer of someone who has
received mail from this entity.
At any rate it does not appear to derive at all from this list OR its
members.

So, the interesting question is from whence did the virus get YOUR
(the recipient's) address. Perhaps you posted to the list before Jun
24? Or have you had correspondence with owner-vnc-list?
Thanks-
