[Slowhand] Virus email Alert

[Mark Deavult]

I've just trapped a viral-loaded email purporting to come from:
slowhand-bounces at planet-torque.com
It's the usual ~40kByte package with the subject "Re: Hello".
Mostly they fake email addresses with an Italian suffix, (.it), but this is
a nasty development.
Is nothing sacred?

John,

Typically the way this works is that when a virus propogates, it uses
another email address from the infected computer as a From: address, to
confuse the recipient who may not know how to parse email headers.  Most
likely, someone who has both your email addy and that of the SD listed in
their email client has an infected PC.

Cheers,
Mark
