Re: A message that was sent to this list is a virus
The virus in question (actually more a trojan then a virus) attaches
itslef to mail messages without the user knowing it once it has infected
a machine (it does this by replacing the Winblows tcp/ip stack with one
of his own, sort of...)
Therefor I suspect the sender is a victim, not a criminal.
