This morning I received a virus which had "Llpumpkin" as it's author and the subject "Category". Glenn just might have had a virus bite him!
Frankly, I received one or two viruses a day which my
virus checker discards.

I have had one grower get an email from me, that probably had a virus attached but i know i didnt send it. So you might get an email with "Neuville" as the sender...delete it. Not sure whats going one, but doesnt look like much can be done about it.

Otherwise, the best advice i can give...any email with a 120 KB size or higher is always subject to possibly being a virus....just dont do anything to open the attachment if the email seems fishy.

Check the properties of any suspect viral emails. When dealing with Klez and its variants, as you all have realized, the "sender" isn't the actual sender. Finding out the true sender it rather easy. In Outlook, right click on the sender/title of the message, and go to properties, and finally the details tab. You should find your true sender there, in the return path field I believe. In using Yahoo or Hotmail, I believe you just have to have it set to view full headers, and again should find the true sender there. The computer with the virus doesn't even have to have an address book to send out the messages, as it can pull addresses from the computer's cache. Anyways, this way you can find out who truly sent out the email and let them know so they can get it taken care of. -Tim
