I Need Info

I just recieved an email with an infected attachment. Now when I responded to an78@aol.com it was an invalid address question 1: how do you send an email that way and question 2: how do I find out where it came from?? It realy pissed me off and I believe it was a response to an email I sent regarding a part time poaition on craigslist. Thanks in advance

 

What is this

Virus "W32.Netsky.D@mm" found. I recieved this via email. I could not figure out a way to download and take a look. also I posted previously asking how I could find out who sent this.

I apologize I guess I did not explain. I did not download the attached virus what I was wondering is how to find out where it came from. when I looked at the email it was sent from it did not exist.

 

I apologize, I was under the impression you had this infection. Mass mailing email WORMS are generated over the internet from many different sources. They are released from hackers and such to basically piss everyone off.

I get them from time to time but I just delete it and move on.
