OT: Weird notice via email, about a virus...

[scirocco at vintagewatercooleds.com (Eric S)]

David,

You are probably NOT infected, these virus spoof addresses...which means,
yours has been spoofed and some other machine is spreading the virus
predending to be your email address...thats how they work.  Someone who
WAS infected had your email in their address book...thats how it found
your address and started using it.

Just dis-regard the emails.
