Punks fans beware, someone's comoputer is infected with a virus called:
W32.Sobig.F@mm
A computer(s) is sending emails with different subject heading.
For ex.: re: Thank You and re: Approved
There are more examples and info. regarding this on the Symantec site. There is a removal tool if your computer is infected.
Bottom line, don't open any attached files if you don't know who they are from.

Yep I've gotten about 2,000 virus emails in the last day!! It's gotten so bad, I've had to disable some of my addresses I use on VHLinks until this blows over.

Somebody call Nick Burns! (Your company's computer guy) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
We have gotten that email at my office too. Thanks for the heads up. ![[Thumbs Up!]](graemlins/thumb.gif) Hopefully, it won't attack us too badly.
I really don't understand the mentality of hackers and people who create these viruses, but they really piss me off! ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

Damn everybody's computer seems to have the drips these days.
I wish everyone would stop being so promiscuous with their PCs.
All you internet X-plorers should just put a sock on it!

Or just recognize the power of Mac computers, that never, ever get viruses (they always target PCs, as the operating system is much weaker).
