We've been getting a bunch of calls due to employees receiving mailer.daemon messages because somebody with a bunch of our company addresses got infected. The virus is apparently using our addresses as spoofed sender addresses and when email servers are bouncing it back for having a virus, they're bouncing it back to our employees. Who in turn freak out and call us saying they have a virus. Argh!
