[Vision2020] Virus infected mail purportedly from "Cweitz"

[Tim Lohrmann]

Sam,
     Thanks, I posted a cautionary post yesterday because it sure looked like virus material to me even though I couldn't verify it. 
     But it was apparently too late, because I noticed a mail or two today from a regular V2020 subscriber(not cweitz) whose machine must have been infected.
     Doesn't it take actually clicking to open the attachment contained in the mail before infection begins though?
     Thanks, TL

Beware if you don't have anti-virus protection!
 
The Postini anti-virus and anti-spam service which
I enlist through my FirstStep Internet account 
detected several emails suspected of containing
viruses yesterday and is doing so again today, from
a source new to me.
 
They purportedly come from "Cweitz" cweitz at moscow.com and
the first part of the subject heading is [V2020].  The
name and address are likely spoofed.
 
Hence some of you Vision2020 list members may also
be receiving these.
 
If you don't have anti-virus protection to intercept them, 
and you do receive them, don't open them, hit the [Del] 
key.
