I have been receiving these the last 2 days. I open them to see what
e-mail address I sent mail to may have bounced. They were all strange
AOL addresses. I did not open any of the attachments so can I assume I
am not infected with SOBIG Fs. Everyone from here on out I will just
delete. Is there a way of checking to see if you are infected.

Thanks
Michelle

you can go to one of the anti-virus sites, look up the worm and (in this case)
see that it places the file WINPPR32.EXE into your windows directory

Pointless, they are all spoofed.

Are you sure?

Try InVircible. If it doesn't yell, then you aren't infected.

Two years old versions of InVircible, and even three, block Sobig.F on sight, as
well as Blaster, and Welchia, and many others. No update was required for the
above.
