As you are claiming to be an expert in this area, please tell us how to tell who the ACTUAL sender is, in the case of emailed virus code.
The point is that the "sender", i.e. the address in the "FROM" field is RARELY the actual person (computer) sending out the virus. Yes, the virus is probably sent out by a 'zombie' but the address that claims to be sending the mail is not very helpful in finding and curing the zombie. michael Juster wrote: > > Someone on this list said the following: > > >>>>>>>>>>>>>.1) Don't bother to inform the "sender" of the emails that they > have a virus -- it is almost always the case that they are an innocent > 3rd-party who just happens to have their address handy in some address book > on the actual virus-infected machine.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< > > If someone is sending out virus code then that someone should be told for a > number of common sense reasons!!!!!
