The "Hi" message received with Anne's email address is the newest virus. If you receive this message from sources other than the CR list, do not open the "test" attachment.

I'm confused! I'm using Eudora, Norton's and a firewall and I scan for viruses a lot. I checked my outbox and I've not sent anything to anyone with that subject. I did however, get an alarm from Norton's that "atrikerider@aol.com" (Paul) sent me a virus earlier today...
Is something swapping names out in headers or did someone finally write a virus that possesses Eudora much the way that MS Outlook can get taken over?
