Theos-Talk Archives (February 2004 Message tt00105)

It's common for a virus to forge the email header so that it makes it look
like the email came from someone other than the real sender. The FROM: line
can be faked, although near the top of the email header you can often see
the original IP address from which the message came. Using that address,
it's sometimes possible to locate the infected machine that the message
originated from. Even locating that machine may tell little, because that
machine may have been hacked or infected by someone other than its owner.

I disabled email attachments on Theos-talk many years ago so that people
would be unable to accidentally send out viruses to everyone on the list. 

The best thing to do is just get the best antivirus program and always keep
its definitions up-do-date.

Investigating the message that seemed to come from you, the attachment
contained the file,"yrubijakspo.exe"

I don't know what it did.
