I got one today from "brenda@buss.oregonstate.edu" Now i know it's "@osu.edu", so right away I recognized it.......but BEWARE

Mike, I've got 7 of them already today! I didn't open any of their attachments (my son has educated me well). Two of them said "MAILER DEAMON", which is normally used when your sent email didn't make it to your sendee. Makes people want to open the attachment to see which email and who didn't get it. Then 'you get it' - the virus. They use many other legit sounding email addresses, like gov.or and universities like orst.org, etc. It's been described today by Fed. officials as being bigger than that "SoBig" virus epidemic a while back. But, this one isn't likely to goof up your use of your PC or internet - it will make your email addies send out numerous letters to a big business conglomerate, to jam their computers. It's been inferred that this is born out of competitor's devious actions. However, if you get this virus it makes your PC more easily raided by a good hack to get your account and password numbers. Yikes for that part!
