Big Fred: Yes, my anti-virus is up to date. Plus I get my emails forwarded to my cell phone so I have advanced notice of emails. When I realized all these emails were spam, I went directly to the website and made sure none were in my Inbox. So I never even downloaded any of them. Comcast's email filter pretty much caught all of them.
The strange thing is that none of these were from people I knew. So if the virus is indeed sending itself from infected people's address books, could it be masking the return address somehow?
Rapmaster: This sounds EXACTLY like what it is. All of them say "please see attached file." And the attached file is a .pif file. Yeah right, I'm going to open an attachment! NOT
