[oldboys] virus info addendum


Probably more of you are flooded with the Sobig-f virus that enter the
mailbox in mega load. Additional you might also receive strange bouncing
emails you never send and that have that stupid virus attached. Ofcourse

This virus puts a random name in the email from field. Those names are
collected from databases, adressbooks and html to name a few. Next the
virus sends this mail to adresses found in the infected computer. Consider
the quantity as a tooken of your popularity ;-) Or if you receive none, the
 consider the absence as sign of quality choice of OS by your friends.
