Not from him directly, I don't believe... this is the way this
particular virus spreads... it reads his data files from outlook express... it then grabs the name of his ISP by reading his return email address. From that it generates a message that states "warning, your account will be suspended due to...from the staff, or from support of etc.. and fills in his ISP. I provide tech support for a cable company.. this virus is really really nasty. we 15 - 20 calls and/or email messages a day about this particular virus because the message is worded in such a way as to make people believe we (the ISP) are sending it out and that they have to click on the attachment to turn their account back on. Once they click, they are infected and the virus propagates again. That message was almost word for word the same one(s) that we keep seeing. There are several various messages that it uses. If your system is set to auto-save attachements, then you are more than likely infected... if you click on that attachement you are definately infected. We, along with ISP's across the country are working with the virus companies to stop this thing but it keeps mutating just enough to get through the virus screens.
