    The closer the day of the 997 introduction...

    ...the more viruses/trojans we get sent. It is obvious: we didn't get any virus for the past few weeks but a few days ago, it started all over again.
    Apparently this person isn't too clever, otherwise he would have understood that he can't do anything. And always sending the same thing...ouch.

    I don't think there's a guy doing this on purpose, a few days ago a nasty virus started spreading, it might be it.

    yeah, the sasser virus, I believe they caught the 18yr old who made it already, who by the way is german
    Though the sasser is not really an e-mail virus, its the first one that infects just by browsing the web if you don't have windows updated with the latest patches. You have to be pretty stupid if you don't keep windows updated, and don't use any antivorus + firewall, and also very inconsiderate to the people in your email address book
    - Symptoms of sasser: windows shuts down by itself every few minutes.

    Of course there is somebody who does it on purpose, he uses a fake rennteam.com mail address for the mails he sends. Maybe he thinks this would make us less suspicious in reading the attachments.
    The same guy also used to send virus/trojan mails to other people using a Rennteam.com fake Mail address.
    He cannot harm us (I wonder why he doesn't seem to understand) but it is a pitty if he harms people who might have never heard of fake mail addresses. I think you get my point.

    Usually the virus is faking the sender email

    Sounds like the Blaster Virus a while back.
