In deference to the experts, Joe and Nick, rather than argue about what Swen does, I'll just post some headers and ask for a *brief* explanation of them.

1st header is a "bounce" to my work account. Unfortunately the bouncing party didn't bother to include the original message headers, but it's evident that they *thought* that I sent them the virus. Since the "From" address was "Microsoft Security Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, how does this get back to me unless the "MAIL FROM" command was "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?

------------------ Virus Warning Message (on mail.cosmofilms.com)

Found virus WORM_SWEN.A in file Pack6579.exe
The uncleanable file is deleted.

---------------------------------------------------------

The second message is a "bounce" from Swen itself. Interesting that it has an attachment which does not show up in Outllook Express because I force plain text for all incoming messages. If I understand what you are saying correctly the infected party should be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", correct? That *does* appear to be the case, since the mail originated at bellsouth.

The third message is an actual copy of Swen sent directly to my home address. (I can't get any at work since we bounce them all.) Again this appears to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED] who's computer is infected.
