When I get one of these false alarm messages about Sobig, I am complaing to both the company who sent the message and the vendor who supplies the buggy software. If an anti-virus software package knows that a particular email virus uses forged return addresses, it shouldn't ever send out a warning message about an infected email message. If it does send out a message in this situation, the message will almost surely go to the wrong person. Of course, these warning messages are also a form of spam since many of them contain ads for the anti-virus software package that finds the infected message. Richard M.
