Actually, Alan - it *is* the same every time - big@boss.com. The
attachment name changes and the subject line changes, but you can
easily filter this one on the FROM address (if you wanted to risk it).
This is a lazy virus (note that it is different to the other virus
under discussion here - and I even beat Bullwinkle to the punch by a
few days). We would have been one of the first to pick it up and act
on it - the major anti virii companies still hadn't released a
full-blown (beyond beta) update for it.
There seem to be a raft of new virii heading out and about - look out
for yourselves.
