Re: "Undelivered Mail..." has me pulling my hair out!

That's exactly what the virus does. I've been bombarded, too, by=20
"undeliverable mail" I've never sent out. The virus takes the email=20
addresses in the  address book on the infected computer and sends out=20
emails with the virus WITH THOSE ADDRESSES AS THE "REPLY TO" ADDRESSES.

I've found it impossible to tract down whose computer is infected and many=
=20
of them probably don't realize they have the infection, so they keep coming.
