Soarpoint sending viruses

Soarpoint seems to have made a point to email me a virus

"rllwh.zip" was infected with: "W32.Mydoom.F@mm" virus.

So who is the soarpoint character?
And why is he motivated to such antisocial behavior?

The nature of viruses is that one who does not scan
regularly will not know if his machine is infected.
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.

Just because Soarpoint appears to be sending these (reply to, or
from). Does not mean he/she does. You need to dig into the e-mail
headers further. You'll probably discover that soarpoint is bogus.

Personally I constantly get delivery failure, or user unknown, or
virus.... system failure messages referring to e-mail I never sent.
Annoying as hell, but nature of spam/virus culture (but then my e-mail
address was available on internet without change for the past 10 years
- what should I expect).
