The major problem here is the AV stuff will catch it, but most major blue chips will generate an email back to what it believes is the sender, remember the address has been spoofed, so the email hits a mailbox, and that person then panics, I didn't send it, I don't even recognise the address, I wasn't even in at that time, blah, blah, blah....

Bagel, MyDoom, Netsky all use the same techniques

Thanks JP, I learn some more!...I'm not a computer phobe by all accounts but it didn't seem to run like a norm'.
I had no e-mails from anyone else in my address book. You perhaps get 5 or 6 from your address book when this happens but it seemed strange that Nelly had one, contacted me...and then I get one from Dukerob, both were exactly the same! I just thought it strange that e-mail type virus' behave randomly yet this seemed to be "looking" for my mates!!!
I think I'll add Qurb to my works Laptop!...That should sort the men from the boys!...
