Hi Rob, Yep, I'm also seeing a rash of "new" virus-like emails in the last 24 hours. They look a lot like some recent viruses, but don't get caught by either of the AV two scanners I run.
To: "Bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One interesting trait is that they use a "From" address that is alphabetically very close to the recipient's address. We use MailScanner, which quarantines them based on file types, so we haven't had any breakthroughs.

It is strange that NONE of these 3 catch this message which I'm pretty sure is a virus (am I wrong?). Could I have made a mistake from lack of sleep? Can anyone else verify this? If my report is correct, does anyone know of an anti-virus program which currently catches this particular virus? (keeping in mind that these I'm mentioned may catch up by the time you read this) Rob McEwen PowerView Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] (478) 475-9032
