virus

Hmmm, I had this attitude like "that stuff doesn't happen to me" but I got those same emails you were describing (of course not opening them in the first place cause they seemed kinda weird to come from a particular person and then I remebered reading this thread).

The subject headings I got are:

Accident Suppliment
Incident
report for duty
Private Property Accident

The message insides states,

"Hi! How are you?
I send you this file in order to have your advice
See you later. Thanks"

and they were from someone I know. It is a medium level worm virus (W32.Sircam.worm) that will somehow seem to come from either people you know (who actually didn't send it themselves) or whoever. Of course, you are safe as long as you don't open the attachment. Just delete the emails. If they keep coming, make the address one directed for the junk mail folder.

Thanks for starting this thread 429mustang.
