Hi Bill,

I had the same problem as Jeroen. I only dont understand what do you mean by
the usenet. You mean the news servers that the NG hosts. Because I mailed in
the NG with my emailadres I'm infected.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Jerry

Yes your infected! It is all your fault that this and every other
virus spreads. Unplug your computer immediately. Do not turn computer
back on untill you know what your doing. The next time you touch a
computer could bring the apocalypse upon us all!

I don't think this is coming from usenet. I just tried creating a new
identity and almost immediately I was receiving these emails before I even
posted anywhere.

My computer is not affected by the virus itself. I only hate the mailflow
and try to ask a simple question.
