Re: Anyone else had a Virus alert for Stephane Faroult's email ?

It's not from Stephane's computer (even if he were using a Windows machine). From Symantec's website:

"The subject line, message bodies, and attachment file names are random. The From address is randomly-chosen from email addresses that the worm finds on the infected computer."

I've never gotten an e-mail with the Klez virus from the person who was listed in the From address. Very likely it's from someone else on the list who is infected.

Since Fatcity doesn't pass on the original headers, Bruce is the only one who will be able to determine the original source.
