Default SWEN virus/worm now posing as bounced email

Would everyone who uses Outlook please patch up their systems, and every
Windows user who is not *absolutely* sure that their antivirus is up to
date, please get an update and scan your machine.

I received more than 200 copies of SWEN worm/virus emails in the last
24 hours, coming from about twenty infected PCs, all coming to the
email address I use only for newsgroups.


Are you sure it's from people here and not one of those annoying viruses
that forges the 'from' lines?

Spambots have picked up all the unmunged email addresses of anyone who's
ever posted to a newsgroup. If you get spam to that email account, then it's
probably fairly safe to assume that the headers are forged in the virus
emails.
