I remember this one - I made sure I had NO unread messages in my folders!!
It's hard to keep up with these virus writing idiots - they figure out how to
send them that execute for no reason at all, and they search the computer's for
addresses - even in e-mails stored on your system, not necessarily just in your
address book - and most now send from addresses so that it is impossible to
track down whose computer is truly infected to let them know they have a
problem.
I have been very lucky - and I believe a lot of it is luck! besides the fact
that I keep my anti-virus up to date, my windows up to date - run zone alarm -
keep spyware checked - Knock on wood, I haven't been bombarded with e-mails
carrying viruses for a while. I remember the snow white one - oh my!! that came
in non-stop to me for days! I finally set a message rule to delete it from the
server. And there seem to be lulls. We can go for a month or two - with no new
viruses - then BOOM !!! old ones hit again, and new ones come out of nowhere!

Usually works, but one virus sent itself in reply to any messages
that had not been replied to. It was sent to my company and
their email address was not in my address book. It replied to a
periodic update they had sent....not an address I would have
used, in any case.

My defense is to have people's email in folders in my inbox
instead in my address book. I just click reply and do a select
all to get rid of the message. A little more work maybe but
should I get a virus, my friends sure won't get ticked off at
me for sending it to me.
Norton scans every email which goes out of my email client both
in and out also.
