Is anyone else getting loads of virus emails that look like they are from
__johnx1__at__hotmail__dot__com. The virus looks like:

http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32nyxemd.html

and the email headers show that the email is coming direct from
170.115.180.153 (at least today), which looks to be from the City of
Philadelphia's net block.

I am at no risk of infection, but I've got over a dozen of these things
and it is very annoying. I suspect someone on the list is infected...

My apologies -- I've no idea what happened. A barrage of virus-laden e-mails were fired from my Hotmail account last week, much to my chagrin. My home system is fine, as is my work computer...the only places from which I connect to Hotmail. Talking to others, it seems that a number of people have had the same problem with their Hotmail accounts...I don't know if one of their machines became infected, or what.


Either way, I need to get organized and shift everything over to Gmail sometime soon!
