There IS!!! a virus making the rounds. We were hit
here at work yesterday. The problem is that it
hijacks valid email addresses, so this will look as
though it's coming from people that you know. BE
CAREFUL!! I have seen it labeled as "That Movie"
"Your Results" "My results" "Results" "Your
application" "Thank you!" etc.
