Completely unrelated to this issue:

My company has just been hit by another wave of the "Check This" virus.

It appears that the attachment has mutated, but no details are currently
available.

This virus relies on stupidity, but I thought that all of you should know
that it was
still around.

There is an excellent tool available (also for free) at www.spamcop.net for
tracing down spammers and sending complaints to their ISPs.  Have you
considered running some sort of spam protection on your mail server? check
out this URL for various ways to do this:
