FWIW.I also received this email, and one thing I noticed was that the FROM: field
contained an underscore (_) in front of the sender's name. If I remember when this
virus originally came out, that was one of the identifying markers of it.

The virus that has been running around a lot lately is the BadTrans virus.
It is a nasty piece of work, and has the bad habit of embedding itself in
your backup files, so that when you restore, you reinstall the virus!
Software to remove it can be found at:

I got one about 2 days ago and just deleted it. So it appears to be
list wide. Mine was something.doc.scr though...
Regards and beware,

Morning All,
I talked with Ivan Koutyrev on the phone this morning and he was aware he
was spreading a virus. He has corrected the problem.

this is a virus, if the attached file for example is humor.zip.pif (
impossible extensions
in windows ). the sender himself doesn´t know and that and will not recognize
that he is infected. I received some days more than 100 mails from people I do
not know.

All,
In the last couple of days I've received two e-mails from unknown persons.
The latest was from someone named "Ivan Koutyrev" (I know we have an "Ivan"
in meteoritics these days, but I don't know his last name). Its subject
line was "Re: Apollo 'Lunar' Sample." It contained no text message
9 matches
