Many older virus code will
automatically attach to sent emails and most newer virus code will scan your
computers contact list and send its own emails out to the people in your
pc. Variations will generate random subject data or look through old
emails on your computer and send parts of other emails as a cover for the
virus.
The sender will not have any
connection to the virus wrter, and in many cases the from address may not be the
sender. If anyone recieves and infected e-mail, it is prudent to send a
note to the listed sender of the email, but one should also look at the full
properties of the incoming email to try to establish the actual
origin.
I will be happy to answer any
further questions either trough the list or privately.

there is a virus showing sender as Robert and Carla Lawson
with the subject being "RC-Southerners and Snow"
Do not open.....it is virus infected.
Thank goodness that I just updated my anti virus software
this morning .
I am not at all computer litereate but here is a rhetorical
question.
What possible satisfaction would someone get sending
infected messages. And who does it and how do they do it?
Think I will go ride my horse....
