Huh?

Let's see.

I use Outlook, but on a machine that runs WinME and therefore shouldn't be subject to the Sobig virus. I specifically updated my machine, run antivirus which I religously update, and haven't been running on a broadband connection since before the existence of this virus was confirmed. And back at home, my desktop has antivirus, firewall, plus should have been powered down these past two weeks.

So how is it that someone gets the Sobig virus from bktheirregular@aol.com?

*groan* Did it spoof my e-mail addy?

Yup, it probably stole your addy from someone else's address book.

And BTW--did you ever post the actual names of those four speedy ships?

Really, I won? Go me! Shall I e-mail you my address? I love beach sand. Or are you going to be at the AC Shindig?

No problemo--get in touch whenever.

The Atlantic City Shindig is a Firefly gathering at the end of September--a mini convention, really.

You got spoofed. My work address is being spoofed too.
