Then there were some addressed from info@astrasport.co.uk, rhcmgreen@shaw.ca, esxbrti@a-1security.com, mariannetoddaq@artnet.com.br...
If any of those email addresses seem familiar to you, then you may well have been infected. If thats the case, GET SOME ANTIVIRUS IF YA AINT GOT IT OR UPDATE THE ONE YOU DO HAVE!
If ya aint got none, then click this link & download it!

Not necessarily anyone that is infected from these forums. The virus spoofs the from address to be any that it has stored from previous infected machines.
Say on PC 1 the address book contains one address, when it gets forwarded to this, it might be spoofed from a random address, and then from there, may be the address from PC 1.
I have never been infected with a PC virus, yet people email me saying that viruses are being sent from my address. You can never tell who they're from. All you can do is just make sure you don't get your PC infected, and 'ride out the storm' so-to-speak.

is why I posted this up as it could be anyone! its just it contained 2 CS email addresses, must also know mine, and some others...
Somepeople though don't bother installing antivirus as they think having a firewall is enough, but it aint!
Some times its the other way round...

Another quite common mistake is that people have both a firewall and anti-virus program, but they set the firewall to block the anti-virus updates!
Some people will never learn
