Hi Robert... some of the newer viruses read the Address Book of an infected 
system, and "spoofs" SENDERS from that file. Bottom line is that some dummy 
who has you in his Address Book has opened an attachment in an email.

The RULE is: Unless you're expecting an email with an attachment, you 
IGNORE any and all attachments-even if the seem to be from a friend.
