Then you need to upgrade your AV program to a decent one, not run fdisk. All
fdisk will do is rewrite the MBR, and any half-way competent antivirus
program can do that.

All that tells you is the email address responsible for the originating
network. It doesn't tell you who sent the email to start with. 

And in this case, SpamCop got it wrong; that's much more likely to be
someone responsible for nvg.ntnu.no, since the email originated from a
German ISP.

ie don't send abuse reports to that address. ;-)

Its is a Virus , and normal course for these types is it appears with TXT
saying ,  Piccys . It is also normally sent after a real email is sent
, so that would indicate WomoTeam

It contains one of the nastiest thing on net @ moo , a Bot , this will stay
on your machine , and only known cure is to FDisk. What it does is well
written all over net , best place to read about this stuff is http://grc.com

Well that woke up the list
