Re: Virus Help

The Bagle viruses are forging the sender's name and as such you should
assume that it is not in your system. Many email protection packages are
either unable to be setup to not send the sender a notice when the virus is
a known forging virus or the software user is not updating their software.
The Internet is being flooded with false notifications many of which become
bounced messages since the user name is false and not on the notified mail
server.
