1: There is not a person sitting behind a computer sending you a mail every 3 mins with an attachment thinking im gonna get that fucker and take his computer down.

Its the virus itself sending mails to other emails found for instance in the internet cache. The user wont even know hes sending out emails.

2: When you get a reply back from a virus scanner on another server or computer saying mail was not delivered because of an virus while you didnt send out anything does NOT mean you are infected.

People that are infected and have surfed several websites (like yours) most likely also have their (your) email cached so what the virus will do is see your email, spoof it when sending itself and send a virus to hun @ thehun.net, his server will reject it and send the reject mail to the from line in this case you.

I dont wanna sound like a smart ass and i guess most people do know how viruses work but i was just a bit annoyed by the dozen of posts today and people making up the weirdest stories where those mails come from.

Peace wiggers.
