I've been receiving a tonne of these recently - I'm getting emails which claim to come from sumea.com.au and have an attached virus.. The body of the message says it's a link to a Sumea forum message, but of course if you click it, you're going to get infected...
Obviously, a few of you have been infected and your address book is sending out a tonne of email with forged headers, some saying it's from Sumea. >.<
I thought I was getting these emails myself, until I stumbled onto another site which seems to be [url="http://www.forumplanet.com/planetunreal/topic.asp?fid=3711&tid=1480377"]having the same problem[/url]...
Just a note, I don't even have Outlook set up, and I do all my email through a web based interface which is offered with my hosting plan, so I'm not sending out these bogus emails.
I've deleted all those messages but I will post it here when I get the next one.. It's obvious to spot because the link to the forum message in the body is actually wrong (I think it says something like sumea.com.au/messages?id=2832837.. not that it actually goes to that url anwyay.)
The body of the message is brief and says something to the tune of "you have received a forum message at...", so it's not hard to get suckered into clicking it if you already receive similar emails from Sumea by subscribing to certain forum sections/messages or someone has sent you an email through the forum..
And yeh, because I send an email out to every person who registers for a Sumea profile, or the mailer sends an email out to every person who registers (thus I'm in a lot of peoples address books), I tend to get a tonne of spam when there's a new email virus breakout.. this one pisses me off most because it's duping people by pretending to be from the site.

Just did a quick search on that email text.. looks like one/some of you are infected with a typical Outlook email virus.

That sucks, do you have an example of a subject line of one of these emails so we know what to be aware off?
I can't understand why people don't have virus checkers, firewalls etc these days. [:P]
