I'm a cautious person when it comes to E-Mails. I got one from:

"Nleblanc" with Subject "Re: Thank you!"

I never sent any "Thank you"-subject to this adress...

That's the mails text: "Check attached file.Note: Use password to open archive.Files: siwfnjmpiv.bmp (25k) Message.zip (25k)"

The zip (which I didn't open) contains a virus! I don't think that you sent this around, Nic. So be warned people...

I just received one myself from "newordernotify@kirchmeyer.com"...

It is kinda weird b/c the address that I set up for this site is unique to this site.

I got nothing anymore since I stopped subscribing.

Don't worry Katja, it's not from me.

Somebody your exchange email with got a virus though, and it's somebody who has emails from me as well.

Although, those virus are so sofisticated now that I already received a virus from MYSELF from another email address once... so they send virus from any email they can find... :shrug:

Not much I can do... fortunatly for me, most people emailing me speak in french, so I know it's fake when I get mail from them in english ;)

these are worms that go through your address book and send e-mails in your name to other people. the only thing to do is wait until they go away. i used to get these a lot until i got a better anti-virus protector.
