Maddening! This virus gave me an email "sent" by my son. It had his name, 
his military rank -- but it was "from" msn.com -- which is not my kid's 
service provider!

My system is as clean as it gets -- both computers -- but I am now up to 23 
messages and climbing. After hearing the numbers you and others are 
getting, I feel so small potatoes. I ant more virus laden messages -- !
