g'day all,
Not birds but it will stop you e-mailing about Birds !
My ISP has blocked well over a dozen copies of the w32.Bugbear Virus.
I hope everyone has a Virus protection program installed & updated.
Apparently whom you think is the sender is not.
Symantec this morning upgraded the virus from 3 to 4 (out of 5) and
Computer World a short time ago had a write up

McAfee says ...
This worm has the ability to spoof, or forge, the 'From:' field.
(Often set to an address found on the victim's machine).
Additionally the virus can use a fabricated from address,
by taking the name before the "@" sign of one address,
and the domain name after the "@" sign of another address.
(i.e.. + =
etc. etc.
More info available about it and how to remove it available from ...
