I just posted my first message to this group today - just
a couple hours ago. Until then, I had not received any of
the messages such as the ones mentioned here.

Since I posted that first message here, I have received 4
infected messages, 3 appear to be security updates from
Microsoft, and the other was the SWEN virus.
