I got Mcaffee from work and it found them all and I deleted them.

Wonder who I got it from? Time to look thru my email...

Ben,

The sender will be haha@sexyfun.com or something like that. The headers are always forged/anomously mailed. So even if you find a name its likely they didn't have anything to do with it.

Well I get no spam mail like that to my email address. I looked thru all my email back to November and saw only 1-2 attachments that were shady. I saved them to disk (not opened/executed them) and let Mcaffee see what it thought of them, and they were all clean. I mean I don't open ANY attachments that aren't from a reliable sender, and I really don't get any email from people I don't know (thank God). So I am at a loss of where I got this thing from.

Well, last time checked hybris was an e-mail attachment. It may have a new plug-in that confers more virulence mechanisms. wait.

I just checked the f-secure website i'll include the link below. It seems I'm wrong, my sincerest apologies to all. The hybris virus can also infect machines that have the sub-seven trojan. It seems to also have other mechanisms.Hybris
