Xino's it only effects the Hotmail server and your email address. It doesn't seem to be harmful...just incredibly annoying!!

Eeh...
 
Ahem, I had a bad feeling at the first time I saw the subject of this topic, and the "Janne-Barbro" thing really confirmed them. I believe I am the cause of your virus trouble, since we had to erase our entire harddrive from a virus (remind me to never EVER EVER download a Sims thing again!) lately. Oupsie... Well, if it was our computer that sent it to you, I'm sorry and I hope it's over soon.

I seem to be getting a lot of these kinds of virus emails over the past two weeks. My virus software is 100% up to date however (it downloads updates as soon as I start Windows), so I am always protected. The attachment is always blocked and quarantined.

One that I recieved today was entitled Sos! and was sent from abe babe (in lower case only, which I never use) to info@oddworld.com.

Another I got said it came from twistedfirestarter.

I seem to get the impression that the majority of the ones that I receive come from viruses (or programs) that scan the internet for email addresses. As I rarely receive them to my main email address, but usually to the addresses listed on my website such as info@oddworld.au.com, links@oddworld.au.com, etc.

I know some of you (DH, Teal, Dragadon) have your own sites also, so if you have your email address listed on there, it could also be coming that way. Either that or it is getting the addresses from another source (address book or similar).
