#1 Sounds like an email virus I had a few months ago.

It takes addresses from your address book and "sends" mail from them to everyone else.

It always says "here is your file" or something like that and of course the attachment is a virus.

I don't remember what the virus is called, though. My office network caught it and purged it pretty easily.

#2 Its the Netsky virus. I work in the computer security field and I see these all day long.

#3 TIP: stay far away (don't click on them!)from .pif's, .bat's, .exe's, and AV scan all zip files as a rule.... any emails with "sketchy" subject lines or body are highly questionable, and usually never came from the person it appears sent it

#6 We're getting tons of these netsky viruses up here. Our server antivirus software (Trend micro) identifies them. I am even getting them from .mil addresses at Ft. Richardson. Delete button a must. Be vigilant, Raptor.

He's using the free KH-11 plug-in included in the Zionist World Domination Service Package, Version 3.2.1.
