Virus from SIDC

Just got an infected email from 'everyone@sidc.co.uk'

Subject 'Something for you'

I am usually pretty suspect with emails and dont open them unless I know the source - luckily Norton caught this one before I opened it!

99.99999% chance the "From" address will have been spoofed mate.

Keep Norton up to date and exercise extreme caution with any e-mails that have attachments.

SIDC email

As the person who is responsible for that mail address I can assure you that it is spoofed. That address doesn't actually have send capability.
