VIRUS WAS ATTACHED Comments: cc: Maurice Barnhill , Kurt Schwarz In-Reply-To: <3DD969CF.4010802@udel.edu> Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Kurt No apology is necessary. The message with the virus attached did not come from you. The message that you posted to MDOSPREY had no attachment of any kind. I did, however, receive a second message with the same subject. This message had the Readme.exe file attachment, and the return address was forged to make it look like it came from your machine. It did not actually come from your machine, and it did not actually come from MDOSPREY. It came from an infected machine that belongs to some unidentified subscriber to MDOSPREY.
