To All... I just received the following as part of a separate message from Gord Stronge: "Just 10 minutes ago I received a VIRUS warning from Kelly Velasquez about this and another Strong researcher warning that these message addresses have an underscore prefix to the name; his showed up in my admin's rejected message only as "<_pbstrong>". My address book shows his address is <_pb.strong@deleted.com> (Note: I changed his address for purposes of this message) He probably is unaware his name is being used to send messages out. To be safe don't try to open anything else from him and scan your system for viruses. I'll forward the warnings from Kelly. " I then checked my own address book and found that unknown to me, the following address has been inserted into my address book "<_jhdame@erols.com>" Again, this did not get caught by the Norton Antivirus scan I ran... we may have a real problem here.
