I was just sent an e-mail that said I had sent a message to some one with this virus in it, ie: W32/NETSKY.C@mm . I don't even have the name of the reciever on my email list. I did not send it,and have since checked for virus'. None found. I also sent the email to my ISP abuse address. Just thought you might want to know, and tell everyone not to open the the links on the email.

Hi Greyhound
Thanks for letting us know. This can happen sometime when receiving a e-mail. The important thing is not to panic as long as you are up to date with your virus software and with a good firewall you are OK. All the top virus software will deal with your attachments and e-mail and of sending of e-mail so you can be certain that you cannot receive infected mail nor send it. This is why it is most important to always make sure your anti virus and firewall are running and fully updated at all times and the icons clearly seen next to the clock. If for reason the icon should not be there then investigate as to why and if in doubt then uninstall and reinstall as it is better to be safe than sorry. I would not bother replying greyhound to that e-mail as it sounds like a set up to me and just disregard it
