Funny Thing Happened

I left for the races on Friday morning at 5 AM and first came back to the office on Tuesday. Over the weekend, Sunday the 26th to be specific, I got a reply saying that my message to Antiques-Leader at Prodigy had been undeliverable. (it was the virus)

So talk about strange? 1) My computer wasn't turned on. 2) I didn't send myself any mail. grin 3) I run Netscape, so the current Worm, doesn't work on my computer. 4) I have an up to date anti-virus software installed.

So hopefully anyone who reads this will get the simple answer. The Virus takes name from the infected computer, and substitutes them for the real sender. It then sends to someone else from the infected computers files.

Looking above, someone who knows me and is probably a Prodigy member, has the virus.

BUT it isn't the name in the "from" field, that actually sends the virus. I've been getting three to six copies of this virus a day for the last week.
