Scan your machines for Beagle as one of you has it.
Tetrad does not have beagle on his machine! See, bugs like this work by scanning the infected machine's e-mail address book and picks someone
at random to spoof. It then sends itself to everyone on that user's e-mail contact list in an attempt to infect more machines.

Get the removal tool
here.
Even if you think you don't have it, scan your box anyways. (or your whole network if you've got a LAN set up) And FFS, update your damn virus definitions!

Actually, the proper term would probably be "CTI".

CTD for Computer Transmitted Disease, a variant of STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease).
Not sure what CTI means. Computer Transmitted Infection?

Yes, because I don't really think of a computer virus as a "disease".

I'm getting constantly spammed by this guy named sleepyhollow from AOL.
I personally say... any idiot that clicks on something called 'Message.VBS' or "halflife.cpl" deserves any virus he gets from said script. STOP CLICKING ON ATTACHMENTS you morons.
And also I find it rather appropriate how it's an AOL person sending me these viruses

Isn't it possible for a third party infected machine that has one of our addy's be the culprit?

That's the point. MD has gotten e-mail "from" me when 1) I didn't send it and 2) I don't have the virus. So somebody else with my address has the virus.

It kinda pays to read the entire post.
See, it just happened to pick Tetrad out of Sickone's contact list and sent out copies of itself
AS Tetrad in order to throw gullable people off that don't bother to check the e-mail's header info before being an idiot and hitting reply.

The mail I got from Sickone was from sickone, not tet
