I really doubt that Scot knew that he sent the virus; once a machine is infected, it starts sending the virus itself when the victim sends mail. See the following for information on this virus (technically, it's really a worm, not a virus): http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/happy99.worm.html It contains instructions about how to remove it from a system. I hope Scot follows it before he tries mailing someone again... -Ed
