[Dialogue] Virus reported under my name

[David Walters]

The way thisworm works is that it finds your name on a mailing list
and uses it to send an email with its worm embedded in it to all the
folks on your list or on any of another set of lists. They do this to
trick people into thinking that they are opening a legimate email
when in what they are opening the equivilant of a trojan horse.
