That is usually how they are successful.... they make it look like it comes from somebody you know. Somebody out there has his email addy in there address book, and is likely infected by one of the worms or virii that are running around.TRNDRVR said:
If you look at the headers, you will almost surely find it is not from our Prez.
Keep your anti-virus updated, etc... too.
Norton zapped it both times.Glenn said:That is usually how they are successful.... they make it look like it comes from somebody you know. Somebody out there has his email addy in there address book, and is likely infected by one of the worms or virii that are running around.

It's coming from someone else's (UNPROTECTED) email addy book that I happen to be listed in...
That email addy is for INBOUND mail only. Anything coming out off my computer would be from my personal addy@hotmail or rarely, another personal addy@earthlink. I use Hotmail which screens with Mc Afee, and I also run Norton AV in the background 24/7...last updated 3-10 and last full-scan 3-8... In other words, it ain't me.
BTW I get virii sent all the time (curious emails with attachments, sometimes from folks I know) that get deleted from my junk-mail box unopened.
