Have I e-mailed the virus to anybody?

From: Clio Mouse (cliomouse@yahoo.com) | Date: 2006-06-12 19:01:28 UTC-07:00
Will somebody tell me if I have e-mailed this virus to anybody, thereby meaning I have it? I haven't opened any of the virus-laden e-mails, but if anybody could tell me whether or not I have e-mailed it to anyone I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

ClioMouse

You really should just run a virus scan. If anyone got an email that
looked like it came from you, it might have actually come from
somewhere else. Also, you may have sent one that looks like it came
from someone else in your address books. Some viruses grab an address
out of your address book and spoof that as the From address, so
that's not a reliable indicator of who does and does not have it......

If you haven't opened it, chances are you're good, but you never know
what else has gotten in, so regular scans are pretty much a necessity.

And wow, this thing spread fast. I'm getting it in every group except
the fully moderated ones and it's spoofing some weird addresses......
