Update your virus software. ( Everyone should probably check their
systems )
It will send email out to anything it finds in your address book.
Ergo, if the email addy for posting to this group is on the infected
system, it will send us email until it has been removed. It is also
possible that it isn't your system. Since the worm will randomly
pick the From address from any available on the infected system.
Check it out:
" This worm searches the Windows address book, the ICQ database, and
local files for email addresses. It sends an email message to these
addresses with itself as an attachment. The worm contains its own
SMTP engine and attempts to guess at available SMTP servers.
For example, if the worm encounters the address user_at_abc123.com, it
attempts to send email via the server smtp.abc123.com.
The subject line, message bodies, and attachment file names are
random. The From address is randomly chosen from email addresses that
the worm finds on the infected computer. "
