Hello,
I've been recieving several large emails (117K to 125K) at an account I use
for just Lego communications. Most appear to be from people I've emailed about
Lego. My research shows a recent virus worm is gaining ground. Here's the info
on McAffee:

From that info it appears the virus uses current addresses & possibly current
message titles on the host machine to confuse the recipients of the emails.
I'm curious if others have seen this, too.
Thanks,
Clark
