Virus Alert! - Attn: John Van Vuren

[amalventano@sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

more info about this thing here:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.bugbear@mm.html
the people getting it are getting it from someone who has replied to them in the
past (and have their outlook adding people they reply to in their address book).
the fact that its 2 listers means its probably someone on the list.
the virus masks who it is sent from by using another entry from the address book
on the infected computer.
