I have been receiving at least 5 viruses a day from [email protected]. This has been going on for about a week now. Anyone else getting any? Here's the headers - I think they are coming from yahoo, but I can't tell:

This is a virus that has been attacking many corporate groups as well. It apparently is served up as an .html attachment in most cases.
Don't open any e-mail that has "admin@" in front of a URL. And, whatever you do, don't open an attachment that is contained in the e-mail.
You can check Norton.com or any of the other virus protection software sites for verification.
Hope this helps.

Or just play it safe- stop opening attachments period.
If you and friends share photos & files, set up a simple ftp site or set up a shared account on Yahoo groups, briefcase or something like that. Don't send files by mail.
I haven't opened an email attachment in several years unless I knew EXACTLY what it was and was expecting it in advance.
