Re: (TV) Confused / Is is this a virus inside a Trojan horse

["Russ Van Rooy" <russvr@blarg.net>]

What is likely that happened was that Keith opened an email ( from someone
not of this group ) that had some kind of script virus (worm) attached to it
that activated when Keith opened the attachment. This script virus then
proceeded to read Keith's address book and maybe sent email messages out to
everyone in his address book. The reason no one on this list saw any
attachnment is because the list's software automatically strips out
attachments - definitely a good thing .  Speculation all mine.
