to paraphrase mr robert zimmermann, this ain't me, dude: been doing virus scans & spyware chex until my eyes roll up in their sockets with boredom, but my machine seems to be clean - i do get daily messages from "praetzel" and someone else from the list that the university server scrubs clean for me (replacing contents with the daily message "this e-mail contained a virus"), so... i imagine my ID is being used to spread this stuff in the same was mr "praetzel" (wonder how/why they chopped his name down?)... anyway - also with the ISDN modem i've had to resort to using again, it would be difficult for mass quantities of virus-laden material to originate here - & even then: is this smoke's real e-mail address? loox kinda fishy to me...
