Hi,
It appears that my machine got infected by the same virus(or worm) that was
sent out to the SPM mailing list about a week ago. Looks like it might have
some sort of an incubation period.
The virus is called w32.badtrans.1234 or something very similar and replies
to all mails that are unread in the mailbox. Looks like a mail might have
been sent from my e-mail account to the SPM mailing list also.
My machine was out of commission all of yesterday and we finally got it up
and running only late yesterday evening and hence this late warning.
If I am right you would have probably received a message asking you to
view an attachment which usually the machine prevents you from opening. I
would suggest that you scan your machine to ensure that everything is in the
clear.
Extremely sorry about this.
Regards.....Raj
