Viruses

[duffman4500]

This is about the Sobig.F virus, I know that it spoofs email addresses, but is there a chance that my mom could have the virus (even though she has an Updated Antivirus) and be sending out infected emails. We have gotten quite a few emails that are "returned" from servers explaining that we sent emails with Sobig in them. Are these just emails that other computers sent out using our email address as the spoofed address?

P.S. They also have an incorrect IP address

I'm not sure, but you can read all about how SoBig works here.

Me and a few other people I know have been getting those same emails. It wouldn't hurt to run a virus scanner but chances are it's nothing to worry about.
