Bob I get a goodly number of these every week. They slacked off for a while but have started again just in the last few days. I believe it's a trojan but I haven't bothered to dig into it. Quite clever and well done if you look at the fully-rendered HTML version. No doubt alot of people are falling for it.

Have you folks been bombarded like that? No, my servers only flag spam, not viruses, and flag/reject about that many an hour (on each server).

Bob Yes, it's a virus. M$ doesn't e-mail patches. But given that each of my mail servers sees them at the rate of 100+/day (to various users), there are a _lot_ of gullible M$ users out there. That's a sustained rate during the past two months, BTW. It was worse when it first started. Hmmm. Gullible M$ user. Sorry for the redundancy. David A.

Re: virii
It's not new. It's been around awhile. It hit hard, slacked off and seems to be picking up again. With Christmas coming I imagine a lot of people have bought brand new boxes from Dell, etc. with XP and are providing a lot of new targets for these trojans to infect and annoy us G.
