Did anyone else get a possible Virus mail relating to p8ntballer.com?

I got this in my e-mail box, it looked like a virus invitation, so I didn't open the attachment. (Never open .exe files you get from strange e-mail addys, and then only some of those you get from the ones you know...

Hello rancid,

JoseDominguez has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - A letter to Bush - in the Speak your Brains f

It cuts off there. The fact it was sent to the old e-mail is worrysome too. So, umm, someone get a virus around here and not disinfect? The fact it names two posters here made me wonder too...

PS : Mods, if this is a problem that's been dealt with, nuke the post. I'm just wondering who else may have gotten hit...

I got one the other day as well from WalkonZone (a user on here) with the same header of yours. Asking if I still had a freak cocker back for sale??!! But email had an attachment of customers.mdb.scr or something like that, me Norton had a fit with it

Hello rancid,

hmmm culprit

It's a bugbear virus doing the rounds over here and Rancid's got it so it's sending random messages from his inbox to everyone in his address book - it's fixed now and shouldn't have infected you.

Yep its bugbear (b) one of those pesky virus things which sends its self to everyone in your address book.

No virus as such, more a dodgy way of some spammers to get our e-mails.

As the others have said, Bugbear.B

check out the run down of it on any anti virus producers website!

They have all graded it high risk.

Or failing that you can check it out on the BBc news website! apparently it has broken records set by it's previous incarnation!
