[linux-help] Nor my system! Re: Virus found in your message Thank you!

["David E Carmichael" <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To All:

I use Norton AV with email scanning to catch any virus..

If you know how the "SOBIG" viruses work.. they randomly choose a
name from the users address book and then sends out emails as if
that user was the sender.

After getting the below message I made sure that I had the latest
version of NortnAV and rescanned my system.

Please make sure that you have your Antivirus up to date and that
your system is not infected!!
