Possibly it's a variant of this worm... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=74&ncid=74&e=1&u=/cmp/200308 20/tc_cmp/13100688 Basically it's spoofing the return to address so that it looks like it came from someone other than who it actually came from. So, even though it looks like it came from Steve Lawson, most likely it didn't. Which makes it that much harder to track down who actually is infected.

(was Re: Approved) Coupla observations that might be helpful in solving this one: I'm noticing that the supposed senders are showing up as addresses only, not as the selected outgoing name. (For example, a legit message from Rick Walker says it's from 'Rick Walker/looP.Pool', while the objectionable one just says it's from his email address.) I noticed this for mine as well, and (I think) Steve Lawson's. Webcrawler??? I don't use Outlook. I don't use an address book. My VShield is enabled and hasn't detected anything unusual. When I said I received messages with attachments, I actually meant I received messages with attachment ICONS; since I didn't attempt to open them, I'm not sure if the attachments actually made it through. I got an automated reply message from the New York Times; I've never sent anything to the New York Times. I got a returned mail/mailbox full message regarding the mailbox of someone named McKay (I believe it was; deleted it so I can't check) also to whom I've never written. -t- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
