The snow that wouldn't melt

Snow white that is. Is there something in the virus that causes it to attach itself to a victim's address book and send itself to everyone listed?

I just got the email(and deleted without even opening) for the first time. A friend, who uses Outlook, emailed a bunch of us a few hours ago to say she'd gotten this email and was wondering if it was a virus. She says she didn't download the attachment.

Just curious.

Does the source not reveal anything? I think mine came from www.sexyfun.net

I don't supose the URL can be traced but surely something in it can be traced to the origional sender.

All this virus stuff, don't you think the likes of McAfee and Norton start these things to keep thmselves in buisiness?

I'm not even bothering looking. As with any email from an unfamiliar email address, I delete immediately without opening. I don't like Spam! ;-)

The virus sometimes uses www.sexyfun or what ever but it just a cover. The write up on McAfee is about three pages long is is very good
