Re: W32.Sobig.F virus

I see that messages created by the W32.Sobig.F virus are beginning to 
appear on the APD.  Expect an onslaught.   I have a Mac, which can't 
be infected, but there are a lot of people with infected PC's that 
have my address in their address files that are sending out copies of 
the virus as though they came from my address.  Please look up this 
virus at 
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32_sobig.f at mm.html

and get rid of it!.  This is by far the most disruptive virus I have 
ever seen.  I am getting 2.5 megabytes of attachments daily in about 
70 to 80 emails generated by this virus.  Any 72K attachemnt with a 
.pif or a .scr extension is the virus.  If you open it, you will be 
infected!  If you are getting email that says you sent files to 
addresses you never sent things to, then you are not necessarily 
infected; an infected computer may be "spoofing", by using your 
address as the sender.
