Thanks Chuck..

George wrote to me and said that it appeared to come from me, using

an Italian server as part of my e-mail address. I was not in Italy

this past Saturday, and didn't send the message. The problem is that

most assume that the virus was sent my the sender, when the fact

remains that the name is simply pulled form an address book, and it

sent out as it that person sent it.

I run 3 virus checkers on my home computer and 2 on my work laptop. I

know that my systems are clean, and they are updated almost daily,

whenever a new virus is identified by the systems that I pay for.

Regards,

Sandy
