Does anybody know jules@plymouthdiving.co.uk?

<font color='#000080'>Hi, Guys,
I've just received an e-mail (on my work address, which I rarely use for personal stuff...) from jules @plymouthdiving.co.uk.
It contained a virus (contained, as in, past tense, has been removed by one of the multiple levels of paranoia that an anti-virus company can be expected to have!   )
Anyway, there is a fair chance that the e-mail address was spoofed, but... if it is spoofed, the virus must have come from somebody that knows jules at Plymouth Diving...

Keep those anti-virus updates up to date, guys...


regards
Andrew

I get no end of notifications that I have been set a virus, and it's never from anyone I know. &nbsp;I also get loads of returned messages from people I don't know either saying that my message contained a virus.
Similar thing this morning - had a message failure delivery messages from mail@kentdiving.com, info@divecrew.co.uk and adam@aksdiving.co.uk none of which I contacted in any shape or form. &nbsp;That's the reason I register most of my stuff with my work email address - we have Star MessageLabs as our mail scanners, so nothing gets through!

I've been getting loads of these lately - the nos have jsut gone through the roof over the last couple of weeks. &nbsp;Fortunately the AV gets em so it causes no problems, but it is a PITA all the same.

I use the XBL at Spamhaus on my mail server so I don't get any. Its a pitty more ISPs don't use it &nbsp;

<font color='#000080'>Guys,
I know Jules didn't send that email, but I would guess that one of you lot has her address in your address book, and that if you have got a virus, then the virus (I believe it was the latest &quot;NetSky.p&quot; variant, but can't check because our systems have blatted it!) has spoofed her address and sent it to me...

90% of them seem to be coming from e-bay or paypal
