Some crybaby seems to be emailing a virus around-
Not that I'm accusing anyone, but I received one from peter m-, and one from chris von c... I wouldn't think that either one of them would waste their own time with such nonsense. I won't open emails w/ attachments so no biggie...
just a word of caution on opening emails from sources you may be familiar with.

Sorry about that Craig (and to anyone else who may have gotten one from me), I got hit hard by one last Monday on my work PC.

Just out of curiosity, when did you get the email from me and what was the subject line?

Thanks for the heads up!

Chris von C.

Hey Chris-
Got the email on 4/22, on the subject line was "chrisvonc" ...
No worries though, Our resident geek keeps our junk pretty well protected.

I've been hit with a virus too. Unless you are expecting mail from me, please delete any messages from mattmoe@u.washington.edu

The klez virus is running rampant right now. It is a sneaky bastard, when it sends itself out from an infected machine, it replaces the "sent from" email address with a random address from the victim pc's address book, disguising where it really came from.

Go to http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ for more info.
