You know....I just checked the nominations coming in, and found about 10
attempts at sending me a virus with return addresses from
blahblah at andras.net bkahblah at hu.storage.net and blahblah at blaxxun.net.
It seems pretty obvious that where it's coming from, the person is a
definate 3D'er person.
I wouldn't want to be in their shoes once I find out where the root is
from:)
Could everyone PLEASE make sure you have virus scanners running on your
incoming and outgoing mail?
And definately scan thoroughly ALL your hard drives.
If you aren't savvy on how to do these things, please ask here. I am sure
there are many that will help, if it stops this insanity:)
Thanks!

It is always helpful to get the email header. If there is one or two hops in the Received From: header - you can pinpoint the sender's IP address which is my case :
pcp01466071pcs.lpaxtn01.pa.comcast.net [68.82.250.15].
The person who owns this IP did not cleaned his machine yet.

Well bit this shouldnt be a problem, most people are using Outlook Express,
which automatically denies access to .pif files...so :)

Please be aware that it may be some kind of automatic virus. Some of
them DO look through the address books when they spoof the headers so
they can get valid stuff after the at
