 Subject: VIRUS IN E-MAIL FROM BERND!
IP: Logged
Message:
Hey guys,
Just a heads-up: I received an e-mail from one of Bernd's addresses at speedtweaks.net (turbokits@speedtweaks.net) and it contains what looks like a worm virus. Message title is "The Garden of Eden".
'Web.mim' is a compressed file that WinZip or a similar compression utility will recognize. The file contained in the archive is named "Unknown.001". DO NOT TRY TO EXECUTE THIS FILE! This is where the virus is contained.
I'm lucky to have good virus programs that caught it in time -- I would hate for one or more of you guys to think Bernd sent you a goody and end up with a virus.

As previously described on the general board, most e-mail viruses use address book shadowing to replace the 'from' name to someone you know. If you actually look at the properties (the header information of the e-mail itself) of the e-mail, you'll find the e-mail address of who really sent you the infected file.
Was it really necessary to spam this on every forum?
