Re: flurry of email attachments

[ROBERT MYLES <RMYLES () PARKNET PMH ORG>]

Hi Risk Virus Alert (W32.Novarg.A@mm (SymantecA) W32/Mydoom@MM [McAfee], WORM_MIMAIL.R [Trend]  This is an ugly virus 
in that it has a spoofed from address, random subject line, random body and random attachment, including .zip 
files.....  also seen these with no subject line at all.

It has three names and to make it easier for everybody I've attached the links to each of these three sites.  Of note, 
both Symantec and Trend has has the latest virus pattern files up, Network Associates should be up shortly.

Has anyone else gotten a flurry of email attachments (message.zip,
readme.zip, document.exe, document.zip) today?  Today I got about a dozen,
and several returns, of forgeries of me as the sender.
