 Tony... SOMEONE who has you and also has VirtualVairs in their address book
has a worm virus which sent that infected email.  This means that it is
quite likely to be someone (an innocent victim and probably unaware, but
with a serious problem) that is on VV.

It looks to me to be the Klez Virus (or something quite similar).  On an
infected computer, it picks names (as the sender) from the address book and
sends itself out to other names in that same list.  The thought being that
some of those folks in that address book will likely know one another and
will actually open the attachment thinking that it is from a known (trusted)
source.

The Norton and the McAfee web sites both have instuctions on how to get rid
of it...  Or, download a trial version of the software and have it check for
any nastys.

 Attachments are scanned with anti-virus software.
