I Receved this Virus Form D.S.Walter

The email attachment Brent_dancing.mpg.scr is infected with the W32.Bugbear@mm virus.

This has not been sent by me. The address you received this from

DSWalter@microsoft.com

is fake, made up by the virus. It is known to do that. It means the virus is hosted on the computer of someone who has been receiving e-mails from me (which is several hundred people btw). My virus protection is up-to-date and it always catches Bugbear.

hmm, sure D.S.Walter was the source?

got two attachments from him today that were marked as "clean"

EDIT: problem solved (see below)

See my note below. I am not using this address, it's made up.

Bugbear is a bit sneakier than some of the other virus out there.

What it is doing is that it has hit someone's computer, and is pulling 2 address out of the address book.

The first is Dierk's
The second is someone who uses msn.com

It then separates Dierk's address from it's ISP, and strips the username from the ISP of the second person and merges the remnants together to create a new, nonsense ISP.

So, the poor guy is someone in the club who has Dierk's address in his address book. Beyond that, can't tell. Best thing to do is make sure you have your virus scanner up to speed at all times.

I Humbly apologies for any misunderstanding I wouldn't know a virus if it got out of the computer and bit me. I just past on the information I got from Norton (he is the cad responsible). And did not mean to cast dispersions on any one I really am sorry I hope this will not mean an early breakfast and a firing squad.[:I]
