Unfortunately, that doesn't narrow it down much--but if you're reading this and that sounds like you please check your machine for the virus.
Indeed, you will not be able to narrow it down more than you did. As the virus is spread through email, the user must have opened an email-attachment as indicated in one of the web pages of my previous post. The program in the attachment then propagates itself by sending mails to people in the outlook-address book using other sender-addresses found in the same address book. Since both (forged) sender address _AND_ destination address are people on this forum, it means that it is very likely that the actual infected pc belongs to a visitor of this forum (not necessarily a registerd member). I thought the owner of the infected PC might want to know this. I am myself quite virus-free as I have been using Linux since 1999.:-D regards Patrick |
