Yup, and I've also noticed that some of these new wonderful virus' are using
other peoples email addresses to send out the virus.  I've checked my
computer many times and don't have the virus, yet someone on one of the
lists I'm on does have one of these current virus' and it is "borrowing" my
IP address.

Happened to a friend of mine too, tracked it down to a comcast IP address
that time.

Makes one almost want to just use a throwaway email address when crap like
this happens.
