It sounds very much like the latest virus outbreak and not spam.

Here is a little information for you below. If you only only use a
Mac and not Windows you have nothing to fear from it, but they are
a nuisance.

W32/[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a High-Outbreak mass-mailing worm flooding
email servers worldwide. When run, the worm steals email
addresses from the infected machine and also automatically
generates random email addresses for propagation. This email
generation engine is similar to technologies spammers use to
generate addresses for spam email campaigns.

More than coincidence???

2004-01-28 Thread Brad Helden
Today's e-mail included a nice attempt to send a virus to me with the 
sender listed as a Vic Park car-yard. I contacted the yard and warned 
the owner what had taken place and of course the nasty file labelled 
'data.zip' was promptly trashed.


What amused me was that when I checked my 'real' mail in my letter 
box I found a letter addressed to me  saying that I could have 
complete virus protection for only $200.


Hmmm... I wonder.

Cheers,
Brad
