In the last few months I have been getting an email with virus attached
virtually every day and have had the same funny game one you mention I
think.
I posted something on the newsgroup alt.comp.virus on 30th March 2003 and
someone contacted me with a view to helping me find out where these were
coming from etc. This person doesn't want their email address or name given
out on Usenet in case the same thing starts happening to them however you
could try posting your story on that newsgroup or if you e-mail me your
address I will forward it to him.
I spoke to my ISP to see if they knew where this stuff comes from but I
believe it isn't easy to find out.
