Do not jump your string. The person may be totally innocent and unaware that he or she is sending a virus.

The sender may be unaware that his or her system might have previously been infected with a virus that auto-attaches to the person' s outgoing email without the sender' s knowledge, or sends a separate infected email as the sender sends out a clean one.

Some of these viruses will send infected mail to all that is in the person' s address book as though the person (owner) has actually sent the mail.

Bowfan,

At least give us the name the virus was sent under so that person either knows that he/she is being subjected to and or might not know their computer is infected and the email might be sent unaware.

I think I got the same thing ...maybe from the same person. I never open any of that stuff anyway and if I do I always scan it.

They sent it under Huntnma' s name and she knows all about it. I' m not going to name names here but this person screwed up.

Bowfanatic, sorry about the virus. I got an e-mail virus about a year ago, and it sent itself to everbody in my address book, and I didn' t have a clue what was goin on. that is untill mudfish sent me a pm asking me why I sent him a virus. I assured him It was not intentional, and that I didn' t know enough about a computer to send a virus even if I wanted to. I still don' t know how I got it, and I guess it eventually run itself out of my system.
so a virus is not always sent intentionally. maybe that' s what happened in your case, reckon?

but, if I was 100% sure it was intentional, and knew who sent it, I' d dang sure post his name for everbody to see!![:@]
