Somebody on here has a virus doing the rounds in their contacts list. The virus is spoofing the from address which has picked up my email which must be in your contact list.
So far the mail addresses it has been sending to are :-
inet@microsoft.com
davidlucas@bigfoot.com
stevejlawson@hotmail.com
at@brdevelopments.com
chapman_amcas@hotmail.com
Mansoohee@aol.com
freemrh@hotmail.com
neila_home@yahoo.com
redscoob@freenet.co.uk
Do these match your contacts. If so please scan for a virus.
Thanks,
Dave.
PS see here for extra info.

I seem to have been cloned by a virus as well - I keep getting mail returned by virus detectors from mail boxes I have never heard of....not sure of source - but it may be Scooby as I recognise one of the Scooby addresses....
....however most addresses are US based and I have never heard of them - very freaky.

It must be somebody on scoobynet as I have email a few of the addresses and had confirmation that they are scoobynet users.
Somebody out there has the virus and isn't checking !

There's a high chance that out of the several thousand users (discounting multiple IDs etc), quite a few don't understand the concept of Anti Virus software and not opening dodgy attachments...
