OT - Viruses

In the past few days I've seen several viruses that appear to be from list
members. My ISP filters them. I know that the MyDoom virus spoofs the
address, but I have seen viruses from at least 5 different addresses of list
members. I suspect that someone has the virus and all those people are in
the address book.

Here's the latest one I received:
From: mailman-owner at loghost.audifans.com
    Subject: Hi
    Virus: W32/Mydoom.a at MM

Here's another one:
From: dan at s-cars.org
    Subject: Hi
    Virus: W32/Mydoom.a at MM

It's highly doubtful that these people have a virus - just that they are in
someons address book that does.

Perhaps everyone should make sure they are up to date on their virus
scanners.
