To everyone who was sending me messages over the weekend that my computer had a
virus (and I *knew* it didn't...)
Here's the answer in the below message-

208.187.134.209 is the first server to receive this message in
losangeles area. from x8n1y3.141.com some made up thing.
but here is what i think is going on.
some of the new viruses Klienz/E and others ust the infected
computers address list to send mail to others and use on of the
addresses in the list as the return address to futher disguise it's
source. so it looks like you have a virus but in reality one of your
friends has.
We have turned off our "you have a virus" warnig messages for this
reason. we were sending messages to people who did not have a virus
on their computer and they were getting mad.
Hope this helps
Rhett
