Soarpoint will hopefully read your post and get some
up-to-date antivirus software.


The nature of viruses these days is it never comes
from the machine it
says it does (ah, the good old days, when viruses were
honest): the
'from' addresses are always spoofed. More likely, it
comes from a
computer with Soarpoint's address in it, or the address
was simply
harvested from the newsgroup.
