the person who uses NTL who sent it would probably know that they had recieved a virus e-mail and would be able to tell that it was them

how do you know that they have a t least one other forum members e-mail address?

The virus sends an email from one person in the infected computer's address book to another person in the infected computer's address book. So all I know is that it's someone who has one of our email addresses and other forum members in their address book.

The NTL thing I found out by looking at the email headers, tracing where it came from; although the headers could be forged, so I can't be 100% certain that it was really from someone using NTL.

Mac user here!

I'm not on NTL though, nor do I have your e-mail address, so it wasn't me <looks innocent>

Not something I've ever had to do on linux, but I might as well!


Well I would if I could find something remotly like a virus scanner. But theres nothing suspicious in the process list so I guess I'm okay!

Ooh, smugness; you'll make a good Linux user (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif). Anyone with an Apple care to join us? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


Of course! I have enough trouble getting windows programs to run on my computer, a virus wouldn't have a chance!
